The first half was marked by a lot of balance and alternation in the lead. Corinthians started better in the match, but the home team quickly reacted and managed to level the actions still in the first period. In the second quarter, the match remained competitive, with the Paraná team betting on quick transitions. Timão, on the other hand, responded by working well inside the paint and taking advantage of free throws to stay ahead.

After the break, Corinthians increased the pace and relied on good plays by Elijah Clark to extend the lead. Pato tried to respond with three-point shots, but the team from Parque São Jorge managed to maintain control of the game. In the final period, Nathan and Penteado led a pressure that reduced the difference to just one point. Despite the scare, Corinthians remained calm in the final stretch, converted important free throws, and made safe decisions to manage the result and confirm the victory.

After facing Pato Basquete away from home in the NBB, Corinthians will remain focused on the national competition. This is because, next Friday (13), they will host Bauru at the Wlamir Marques Gymnasium at 8 pm (Brasília time), in their 30th commitment in the Novo Basquete Brasil.
