Brasília Basquete showed clear struggles against São José in an NBB match on Wednesday (December 10). The capital team racked up turnovers, outlet violations, pass errors, and short shots, leading to an 87-73 loss that snapped their seven-game unbeaten run.
The quarter scores were 21-11, 30-21, 19-18, and 10-12, with São José taking control in the first period and leading 51-32 at halftime. In the second half, Brasília shot under 10% from three-point range, while the opponents excelled in free throws and offensive rebounds.
Miller shone for São José, scoring 25 points and aiding in rebounds and assists, alongside Anderson, who dominated the paint by drawing fouls and converting shots. For Brasília, Paulichi stood out as one of the few positives, active on offensive rebounds, though players like Von Haydin committed technical fouls that heightened the pressure.
São José's rebounding edge, with Léo Cravero, Anderson, and Miller securing second chances, and their offensive structure, featuring assists from Adyel and Miller, proved key. In the closing minutes, Brasília mounted a comeback attempt with plays from Pedro, Lucas, and Paulichi, including a three-pointer by Pedro off a Buiú pass, but the opposing defense held firm.
The outcome drops Brasília to 5th in the standings, while São José sits at 8th. The DF team faces Corinthians on Friday (December 12) at 8 p.m., and the São Paulo side takes on Rio Claro the same day at 7:30 p.m.
