The Brazilian team defeated Núñez’s team 80 to 113 and took the BCLA quarterfinal series.
Flamengo outlasted Obras Basket in the first game of the quarterfinal series of the Basketball Champions League. Fla dominated the action throughout the game, finishing 80 to 113 in their favor to take a 1 to 0 lead in the series.
At the beginning of the game, it seemed that Obras, in the hands of Solarin who converted 9 consecutive points, would impose a high pace of play. However, from the other side came the response to advance quickly. With very distributed scoring and a high percentage of three points, the Brazilian team won the first period 22 to 37. In the second quarter the dominance of the visit continued, which, with a zonal defense, complicated the offense of the home team. El Tachero talks about closing the first half to the judges, while on the other hand hands like Manfio’s continued to appear to add to Flamengo’s 10 converted triples in the first half. This way, the partial result for halftime was 39 to 62.
Coming back from the break, Conti’s men continued to be very effective shooting the hoop, only to let up at the start of the third quarter. Among Núñez’s men, it was Spight who appeared to partially unblock the offense. The progress of the match did not change in the last ten minutes, as the visitor continued to dominate the actions and extended the advantage in their favor. The final score of the game was 80 to 113 in favor of Flamengo.
In the winning team, Kayo Manfio was the standout with 28 points and 4 rebounds, to add 33 rating credits. Gabriel Galvani, who was invaluable near the basket, joined him in his double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Franco Balbi with 12 points and 9 assists, and Devon Scott with 12 conversions and 4 rebounds were other highlights.
Among the locals, Andre Spight was the leading scorer, with 20 points. Leandro Cerminato with 15 points and Jeff Solarin with 14 were the others who reached double digit points in Tachero.
With this result, the quarterfinal series is 1-0 in favor of Flamengo. It continues on Thursday, March 7 at 8:10 pm, when they face each other at the Maracanazinho in Rio de Janeiro.
