Uma semana depois de perder o título estadual para o Mogi, o Sesi Franca reencontrou o mesmo rival e escreveu outro roteiro. Na noite de quarta-feira, no Pedrocão, a equipe da casa venceu por 90 a 74, em duelo válido pela segunda rodada do NBB.
O resultado deixa os francanos com dois triunfos em dois jogos. Do outro lado, o time de Mogi das Cruzes sofreu a primeira derrota na competição nacional, depois de ter superado o Corinthians na rodada de abertura.
David Jackson comandou o ataque com 21 pontos. Vitinho contribuiu com 20, e o pivô Dikembe foi o nome do Mogi, com 19.
O começo foi dos visitantes. O Mogi mandou no placar durante boa parte do primeiro quarto, mas cinco perdas de posse de bola abriram espaço para o Franca reagir, e a parcial terminou em 24 a 18 para os donos da casa, que aproveitaram 50% nos arremessos.
A história mudou no segundo período. A equipe da casa manteve o trabalho no garrafão, porém viu o rival equilibrar o jogo com a bola de três: acertou cinco dos sete arremessos de longa distância, com Dontrell Brite e Georginho em evidência.
O Mogi seguiu à frente até pouco antes do fim do terceiro quarto. Foi quando as reclamações com a arbitragem tomaram conta do time, a concentração caiu e o Franca avançou. A diferença de um ponto virou vantagem de nove: 67 a 58 no fim do período.
Na reta decisiva, os mandantes administraram o ritmo com Luciano Parodi e o próprio Jackson, enquanto Vitinho acertou arremessos importantes para fechar a contagem em 90 a 74.
O Mogi volta à quadra nesta sexta-feira, diante do Bauru, às 19h30, no Panela de Pressão. O Franca joga na segunda-feira, em São Paulo, no ginásio Wlamir Marques, diante do Corinthians, às 20h.
