During the game, São Paulo was really sovereign, since it dominated most of the quarters and just didn’t win the last one, when the advantage was already comfortable. After a disputed first quarter, with the final score of 24 to 18, the differences between the teams were shown, and the following times were decisive for the final result.
Despite the fact that the first half ended with only six points of difference, the sum of the first two quarters resulted in a 46 to 30, with great superiority of the Brazilian team. In the third period this increased even more, and demonstrated that São Paulo really deserved the victory, with a score of 22 to 14.
Even so, as previously mentioned, the team let the pace drop in the last quarter and saw the opponent take the best by the score of 26 to 23, but without letting it touch too much on the score that ended in 90 to 71. Thus, now São Paulo awaits the result of the other semifinal to meet his competitor next Sunday, the 12th, at 4 pm (Brasília time).
