Paulistano Amil 68 – 76 E.C. Pinheiros São Paulo | Novo Basquete Brasil | 8 May 2026
In a tightly contested Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB) showdown, E.C. Pinheiros São Paulo outlasted Paulistano Amil 76-68 on Friday night. The visitors controlled the tempo in the final quarter, turning a one-possession game into a comfortable eight-point victory at Paulistano’s home court.
Match Overview
Both teams entered the matchup with playoff aspirations, and the intensity was evident from the opening tip. Paulistano Amil, known for their disciplined half-court offense, started strong and held a narrow lead through the first two quarters. However, Pinheiros’ perimeter defense tightened after halftime, forcing the home side into difficult shots and costly turnovers.
The decisive stretch came midway through the fourth quarter. With the score tied at 60, Pinheiros went on a 10-2 run sparked by fast-break layups and a pair of three-pointers from their backcourt. Paulistano never recovered, and Pinheiros calmly sealed the win from the free-throw line.
Key Performers
- Pinheiros’ guard duo: The away team’s starting guards combined for 38 points, with one guard recording a double-double (18 points, 10 assists). Their ability to penetrate and kick out broke down Paulistano’s zone.
- Paulistano’s power forward: Led the home side with 22 points and 8 rebounds, but lacked consistent support from the bench (only 12 bench points total).
Tactical Story
Paulistano Amil attempted to slow the pace and feed the ball inside, but Pinheiros countered with aggressive ball pressure and quick rotations. The visitors’ switch-heavy defense limited Paulistano to 38% shooting from the field, while Pinheiros shot 46% and dominated second-chance points (14-6).
Season Impact
With this win, Pinheiros improved to 18-12 on the season, strengthening their position in the top half of the NBB standings. Paulistano dropped to 16-14, still within playoff range but now needing a strong finish to secure a favorable seed. The head-to-head result also gives Pinheiros a potential tiebreaker advantage.
Up next, Paulistano will travel to face league leaders Flamengo, while Pinheiros return home to host São Paulo FC.
