Corinthians is living a great moment in basketball. Last Friday, 22, the team led by Jece Leite visited Liga Sorocabana, at the Gualberto Moreira Gym, and came out with another victory: 78 to 64. With the result, Timão achieved its sixth consecutive win and equaled the longest unbeaten streak since March 2024.
The streak began right at the start of the 2025/26 season, when the Parque São Jorge team beat Paulistano 83 to 64. Then came the wins over Pinheiros, away from home, 79 to 77, Basquete Osasco (89 to 76), São Leopoldo Mandic in an exciting comeback 77 to 75, Rio Claro (103 to 83) and, now, Liga Sorocabana.

With 100% utilization, Corinthians leads the Paulista Championship and shows strength in this start of the season. It's worth remembering that, in the basketball calendar, the seasons start in the middle of the year and the current campaign began precisely with the victory over Paulistano.
The last time the club had achieved six consecutive wins was in the NBB 2023/24, between February and March of last year. On that occasion, the team surpassed opponents like São Paulo (90 to 82), Paulistano (81 to 71), Pinheiros (90 to 77), Fortaleza (102 to 82), Unifacisa (86 to 85) and União Corinthians (81 to 70). That positive streak was decisive for Timão's classification to the final phase of the tournament, ending the regular season in ninth place.
Riding the invincibility, Corinthians returns to the court this Sunday (24), at 6 pm, to face Franca Basquete, at the Wlamir Marques Gym, in Parque São Jorge. The match is valid for the seventh round of the Paulista Championship and promises to be another great test for the alvinegro team, which seeks to maintain the perfect campaign.
