On Tuesday night, Franca beat Flamengo 81-73 in the third match of the best-of-five series of the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB) finals. With this result, the team from São Paulo is ahead of the competition with a 2-1 advantage, leaving Flamengo in a delicate situation for the next clashes.
The game was balanced and played point by point, demonstrating the strength and competitiveness of both teams. Franca knew how to make the most of their opportunities and, with a solid defense, managed to contain Flamengo's attacks in crucial moments of the match. The Rio team, in turn, fought until the end, but was unable to reverse the adverse score.
FLAMENGO HAS EVERYTHING OR NOTHING FOR VICTORY IN THE NBB
The next duel between Flamengo and Franca will be on Thursday, the 13th, at 6pm, at Maracanãzinho, Rio de Janeiro. This game is decisive for Flamengo, who need to win to force the fifth and final match of the series, which will also be at Maracanãzinho, on Saturday, the 15th.
