FlaBasquete started the NBB 2025 quarterfinals on the right foot. This Saturday (10), the red-black team visited Corinthians , at Ginásio Wlamir Marques , in São Paulo , and won a hard-fought victory by 94 to 88, opening 1 to 0 in the best-of-three series.
The team led by Argentine Sergio Hernández, known as Oveja, started the match with Alexey , Jordan , Shaq , Kayo and Siewert , and was without Ruan Miranda , who was out after feeling physical discomfort.
The duel was very balanced from start to finish. Flamengo started well and won the first quarter by 25 to 21 , but saw Corinthians grow in the second period. The home team adjusted their defense , turned the score around and went into the break winning by 50 to 43.
After returning from the locker room, Rubro-Negro regained control . With a highlight on Shaq, who hit a three-pointer and helped in the comeback, Flamengo turned the game around and ended the third quarter ahead: 71 to 67.
In the last period, Alexey Borges ' star shined. The point guard is having his best season and was decisive with 25 points , 12 assists , 40 efficiency and no turnovers. The impeccable performance guaranteed Flamengo's victory by 94 to 88, even away from home.
After the match, Alexey praised the team's commitment , which did not give up after finishing the first half behind on the scoreboard and managed to turn the game around even without the support of its fans.
Now we have the chance to close at home..."
“We outdid ourselves today. We came with extra energy, fighting for rebounds, fighting on defense. We were able to make up for that with volume , running a lot on the court. It’s very important in this series format. Now we have the chance to close it out at home. But it’s a playoff, nothing has been decided .”
On the opposing side, point guard Elinho Corazza acknowledged the impact of the number 9 and admitted the difficulty of facing the Mais Querido away from home. “He was unbalanced today. He had a great game . We will need to hold him in the next games. This is the Playoff. They had more quality”, declared the Corinthians player.
With the away win, FlaBasquete can end the series at home . The next match will be at Maracanãzinho, with the date and time to be confirmed by the National Basketball League.
Mengão wants to broadcast the tournament to its fans on YouTube, but there is still no official decision with the organizing entity.
