Hanoi Buffaloz defeated Da Nang Dragons 120-91 in the VBA tournament on 9 August 2026. The hosts maintained their position at the top of the table with this result, while the visitors remain rooted at the bottom after twelve straight losses.
Hanoi came into the match already carrying momentum from a 117-89 win over the same opponents just two days earlier. They ran out of legs at times but ground out the win again, this time by a wider margin. The scoreline reflected a comfortable afternoon at home.
Da Nang Dragons have yet to taste victory this season, losing every one of their twelve matches. Their recent form has been consistent: defeats to Nha Trang Dolphins, Saigon Heat, and now back-to-back losses to Hanoi. The gap in quality showed through clearly on the scoreboard.
The table goes out of the window in these games, but the standings still tell a story. Hanoi sit on thirteen wins from fourteen outings, with only one defeat to their name. Da Nang, meanwhile, have not found a way to break through despite showing glimpses in tight games against lower-ranked sides.
This result extended Hanoi's winning run and moved them further clear at the summit. Da Nang's search for a first point of the campaign continues, with the next fixture offering no guarantee of a turnaround.
