Among the highlights of the match was wing/pivot Kaick, who ended the duel with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Another prominent name was pivot Lucas Eduardo, known as Lukinhas, responsible for 17 points and ten rebounds. With his performance, he achieved his fourth double-double in the current edition of LDB.

The triumph was Corinthians' fourth consecutive victory in the championship. Before beating Basquete Cearense, the team had already beaten Cruzeiro 84-69, Instituto Viva Vida 83-82 and Minas 67-66, in a match decided only in extra time.

In the general classification, the Parque São Jorge club appears in third place. Pinheiros and Caxias do Sul also remain undefeated, but have an advantage in the tiebreaker criteria related to the points balance.

The LDB format in 2026 brings together 24 teams, initially divided into two groups with 12 participants each. These groups, in turn, were separated into two subgroups of six teams. In the first phase, clashes take place between teams from opposing subgroups within the same group. In the next stage, duels will be held between members of the subgroup itself.

As this initial phase continues, Corinthians will still have two commitments ahead. This Friday, at 11:15 am, the team faces Brasília. On Saturday, at 9:15 am, their participation in this stage ends against Caxias do Sul.

After that, the competition will move to new venues between the months of July and August. Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Paulistano and Flamengo will be responsible for hosting the games in the second phase of the tournament.
