Flamengo beat Paulistano 70-63 this Sunday (6), at Maracanãzinho , and reached their fourth consecutive victory in the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB). With a consistent performance in the second half, the red-black team turned the match around and remains in the fight for the lead in the competition. Jordan Willians was the top scorer of the match, with 16 points.
The start of the game was marked by offensive difficulties for FlaBasquete , which showed low shooting efficiency, especially in three-point shots . The defense also had difficulties in the first two quarters, and Paulistano went into the break with a 39-35 lead .
The turnaround began to take shape in the third quarter. With a better defensive performance, FlaBasquete limited the opponent to just 24 points in the final two quarters. Even with an inconsistent attack, the team found space on the perimeter and hit four three-pointers in the third quarter, retaking the lead.

With the victory, Flamengo remains in second place in the NBB, with 55 points and a 77.7% success rate (24 wins and 7 losses in 31 rounds). With three games remaining in the qualifying phase, the team still has a chance of overtaking Minas , the current leader, but it depends on a combination of results .
