Game Flow

From the opening tip, Mogi Basquete established control with a disciplined half-court offense and aggressive on-ball defense.

Late Surge Falls Short

Vasco Da Gama U22 refused to go quietly. They opened the fourth quarter with a 10–2 run, slicing the deficit to 58–57 with six minutes remaining. The visitors’ pressure defense forced three Mogi turnovers in quick succession, and the energy in the gym shifted. But Mogi’s point guard, playing with poise beyond his years, answered with a clutch three-pointer and a floater in the lane to restore a six-point cushion.

Vasco kept fighting, and a steal and dunk cut the margin to 70–68 with 15 seconds to play. After Mogi split a free throw, Vasco had a chance to tie the game with a three-pointer, but the shot was contested and clanked off the rim as the buzzer sounded, securing the 71–68 win for Mogi Basquete U22.
