Important game to mention about took place in Tatui. Top-ranked Praia (3-0) saved a 1-point victory on the road edging 3rd ranked Tatui/AABT (1-2) 73-72 on Saturday evening. Worth to mention a great performance of guard Raffael Mencarini (187-2001) who helped to win the game recording 23 points. Rafael Stabile contributed with 11 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Guard Aquiles Ferreira (194-1998) replied with 32 points and 5 rebounds for Tatui/AABT. Tatui/AABT's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.

They share the position with Blumenau. Praia will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.
