Primeira vitória do Pinheiros no NBB 2026/2027, e com sobra. Nesta quinta-feira (22), o time paulista bateu o Basquete Cearense por 98 a 63, em Fortaleza, na Arena do Centro de Formação Olímpica (CFO), pela 3ª rodada do Novo Basquete Brasil.
O jogo já estava encaminhado no primeiro quarto: com a defesa pressionando a saída de bola adversária e um ataque intenso, o Pinheiros fechou o período em 15 a 24. O time da casa melhorou depois do tempo pedido por Jelena Todorovic, mas o quarto terminou 15 a 24 para os visitantes.
No segundo quarto, a equipe visitante seguiu mais eficiente nos arremessos e foi ao intervalo com 32 a 46. Depois do vestiário, o Carcará entrou em dificuldade: excesso de faltas, falta de entrosamento e problemas para encaixar as jogadas. O Pinheiros manteve o ritmo ofensivo e ampliou para 50 a 72.
O último período confirmou o domínio visitante no CFO. O Basquete Cearense não conseguiu conter as chegadas do adversário e sofreu a segunda derrota na competição, com o placar final ficando em 63 a 98 na capital cearense.
Dupre, do time cearense, foi o cestinha da partida, com 22 pontos. Do lado do Pinheiros, Weatherspoon e Nesbitt anotaram 18 cada.
O próximo compromisso do Pinheiros é pela 4ª rodada: terça-feira (27), às 20h30, contra o União Corinthians, no ginásio Henrique Villaboim, em São Paulo. São menos de sete dias de trabalho antes do jogo seguinte.
Já o time cearense folga e retorna apenas em 2 de novembro, quando recebe o São José-SP em São José dos Campos, no ginásio Lineu de Moura.
