Franca, on the other hand, tried to balance the match, but came up against the strong red-black defense and made mistakes. With three minutes left, Fla was winning 19 to 11. The Rio de Janeiro team continued to play well, especially in the paint, and Franca improved on the three-pointers, leaving the score at 21 to 19 for Flamengo with 1min30sec to go . Confirming the reaction with a stronger defense and a three-pointer from Didi on the last possession, Franca ended the quarter winning 25 to 24.
In the first three minutes of the second quarter, the attacking performance was low . Flamengo scored two points and Franca scored none. The ball only fell to the São Paulo team with 6:10 left, when David Jackson made the second free throw – he had missed the first . After that, the attacks seemed to be getting back on track, but that was not what happened. With 4:20 left, the score was only 5 to 4 for the home team, who improved after Gui Deodato came on and scored seven more points in a row. In the final stretch, Flamengo continued to perform better and began to open up an advantage on the scoreboard, with good attacks by Jordan Williams. Franca tried to react, but went to the locker room losing 43 to 39.
The third quarter was balanced. Franca tried to reduce the lead with good attacks from Lucas Dias, Nathan Mariano, Didi and David Jackson . With Ruan, however, Flamengo resisted the pressure from the São Paulo team, which was trying to regain the lead . And it managed to do so with 3min21sec left, with a layup by Georginho, making the score 54 to 53. Coach Sergio Hernandez stopped the game immediately. When the game resumed, the balance remained and the teams alternated in the lead. At the end of ten minutes, the visitors were ahead: 61 to 60.
The first few minutes of the final period were intense. Flamengo thought they could breathe when they opened up a 66-63 lead, but Franca quickly responded and fell back to one point behind. There were constant basket exchanges, but inside the paint, since the three-pointers were hard to fall. With 6:35 left, Ruan scored a layup and was fouled. By converting the free throw, he gave Flamengo a six-point lead (71-65), exciting the fans in the gym. With five minutes left, the scoreboard was 77-69 for Flamengo, who extended the lead with Alexey on a three-pointer. In the final minutes, the team from Rio controlled the game and extended the lead with Alexey controlling the game, closing the score at 86-75.
