Ho Chi Minh Wings beat Can Tho Catfish 101-77 in the VBA on 27 August 2026. The hosts had been fifth in the table after ten games, while the visitors sat fourth following twelve outings. This result narrows the gap between them, though neither side has points in the standings yet — the league structure awards none at this stage.
Wings had lost their most recent outing 66-74 against Saigon Heat, a result that would have stung given they were playing at home. Catfish, meanwhile, had suffered a heavy 94-109 defeat to Hanoi Buffaloows on 16 August, and before that a 73-91 loss to the same side. They came out sharper here, but the margin of victory tells you who controlled the tempo.
By then, the visitors had dropped two games in a row. This time they simply could not contain the home attack. Wings moved the ball with more purpose, and the shooting efficiency was stark — 101 points against 77 is not a game that hangs on fine margins.
Wings remain on four wins from ten matches, while Catfish have five victories from twelve. The difference in games played matters less than the trajectory. One side was climbing; the other was slipping further away after a brief period of stability.
The result leaves Catfish still one place above their opponents, but the distance between them is closing. In a league where standings are measured in games rather than points, every loss weighs heavier. Ho Chi Minh are still searching for consistency. Can Tho are now looking over their shoulder.
