Flamengo’s BCL Americas Triumph: A Sarcastic Recap
In a display of basketball dominance that surprised absolutely no one, Flamengo clinched their second Basketball Champions League Americas (BCLA) title by steamrolling Boca Juniors 83–57 in the 2025 final held at Rio de Janeiro’s Ginásio do Maracanãzinho.
