The meeting was played yesterday (17), at the Morumbi gym and ended 72-69 to São Paulo. The first quarter was dominated by Flamengo, finishing 19-27, São Paulo responded in the 2nd quarter, winning this period 20-11 and going into the break 39-38 with an advantage. The 3rd quarter went to Paulistas also winning 15-11. In the last quarter Flamengo still tried to react, reaching just 1 point behind São Paulo, despite this and having won the quarter by 20-18 it was not enough to avoid elimination.
The result is surprising if we consider that in the regular season Flamengo had 28 wins and 4 losses, thus guaranteeing 2nd place, and São Paulo had only 22 wins and 10 losses.
