Corinthians on best winning run in NBB since basketball return | OneFootball

On the night of last Friday (13th), Corinthians hosted Bauru at the Wlamir Marques Gymnasium, Parque São Jorge, in a match valid for the 30th game of the 2025/2026 Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB) season and won with a score of 104 x 81. It’s worth noting that the result kept the Corinthians team in fifth place in the national competition with 22 wins and eight losses – 52 points.

With this victory, Corinthians reached eight consecutive wins in the Novo Basquete Brasil and achieved their longest winning streak in the competition since the sport was reactivated in 2018. The Alvinegro’s positive run began in January, when they defeated Vasco da Gama away from home, 75 to 67. After that, they won against: Botafogo – A (74 to 73), Fortaleza Basquete Cearense – H (96 to 76), Unifacisa – H (81 to 75), Mogi – H (82 to 75), São José – A (103 to 95), Pato Basquete – A (89 to 79), and finally, Bauru – H (104 to 81).

Among the positive results in the national competition, Corinthians were defeated by Minas at Arena UniBH in Belo Horizonte, 87 to 79, in the quarterfinals of the Copa Super 8. This tournament features the top six teams from the first round of the Novo Basquete Brasil, with the winner securing a spot in the following year’s Basketball Champions League of the Americas.

Previously, Corinthians’ longest winning streak in the NBB occurred at the end of 2019, when they strung together seven consecutive victories against: São José (A), Botafogo (H), Rio Claro (A), Paulistano (H), Fortaleza Basquete Cearense (H), Unifacisa (H), and Pato Basquete (A). Last season, the Alvinegro even considered shutting down the basketball program due to the club’s financial crisis and the need to cut costs. Later, the Corinthians board, led by Osmar Stabile, reversed this decision. Only the professional women’s basketball team ended up being discontinued.

Corinthians will now return to the court next Friday, March 20, at 8:15 pm (Brasília time), to face Brasília at the Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in the Federal District. The match will be valid for the 31st round of the Novo Basquete Brasil.
