The first clash between the teams showed the strength of Rubro-Negro, who completely dominated the away game, winning by a resounding 98 to 52. However, the scenario changed drastically in the second clash, when Caxias do Sul surprised everyone, achieving a tight victory by 78 to 76.
Point guard Alexey Borges has been standing out as a key player in Mengão's tactical scheme. His outstanding performance in March led him to be selected as part of the NBB's ideal quintet for the period, confirming his special moment in the season. Fans have different options to watch the match. The match will be broadcast on SporTV, a subscription channel, in addition to the streaming platforms Flamengo TV+ and NBB League Pass, which will provide live coverage of the game.
Scheduled to start at 9:00 p.m. (Brasília time), the match was positioned in prime time, allowing for a larger audience and participation from the public present at the Tijuca gym. In the most recent match, Caxias do Sul demonstrated its power to react by winning 78 to 76. Even with Alexey Borges scoring 19 points and Gallizzi contributing 11, Rubro-Negro was unable to maintain the advantage.
The team led by Filipe Luis has stood out for its strength as a team, with several players contributing offensively. In addition to Alexey and Gallizzi, players such as Gui Deodato and Jordan Williams have been important players in the system. Tuesday's match could represent a turning point in the series. A victory for the team from Rio de Janeiro would put them back in the lead, while a triumph for the team from Rio Grande do Sul would complicate the situation for the home team.
