History
In the 2005–06 season, E.C. Pinheiros participated for the first time in the professional first division of Brazilian basketball, but then failed to qualify for the single league that resulted from the merging of the conferences. In the 2008–09 season, Pinheiros joined the new top Brazilian league, the Novo Basquete Brasil, under the sponsored name, Pinheiros/Sky.[1] The club finished 2nd in the South American League in 2011, and also finished 2nd in the InterLeagues Tournament in 2011 and 2012.
In 2013, the team won its first international tournament, the most important tournament of Americas, the FIBA Americas League, with two victories against the host team, Capitanes de Arecibo, of the Puerto Rican League, and the Argentine League club CA Lanús. In the second round, Pinheiros also needed a Capitanes victory over the Brazilian League club, UniCEUB/BRB, the team that had eliminated Pinheiros in the two previous editions of the NBB. And it happened - the team from Puerto Rico, beat the defending three time Brazilian League champions, helping Pinheiros to win its first international title.
Pinheiros thus qualified to play at the 2013 edition of the FIBA Club World Cup, against the defending back-to-back Euroleague champions, Olympiacos. Pinheiros lost the series two games to none, losing the first match by a score of 81 to 70 and the second one 86 to 69.
