The game in Bauru supposed to be quite interesting. Pinheiros (2-2) played at the court of Paschoalotto/Bauru (2-1). Paschoalotto/Bauru smashed Pinheiros 90-67 on Wednesday. Bauru forced 21 Pinheiros turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 27 assists. 24 personal fouls committed by Pinheiros helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities.

At the other side the best for losing team was point guard Caua De Souza (184-2005) who recorded 14 points and 5 assists. Paschoalotto/Bauru are looking forward to face Rio Claro (#8) on the road in the next round. Pinheiros will play against Mogi in Mogi das Cruzes and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
The game with biggest result difference took place in Sao Jose. Local Sao Jose (3-1) outscored Sorocabana (1-3) 86-53.

Danilo Penteado (199-1999) answered with 19 points for Sorocabana. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Sao Jose will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Sorocabana will play at home against Paulistano (#3) to get more than just one victory in their record.
