Ho Chi Minh Wings claimed a 76:71 victory over Saigon Heat in the VBA on Thursday evening. The result shifts the momentum in a league where every point matters.
The visitors finished stronger after a hard-fought contest. It was not the outcome the hosts expected at home.
Saigon Heat sit second in the table with nine wins from twelve games. Ho Chi Minh Wings sit fifth after four victories from ten outings. Neither side has recorded a draw this season.
The two clubs met twice already this month. On 6 August the Heat edged through 83:80, and on 8 August the Wings responded with a 96:77 win. This third meeting went to the visitors once more.
The result extends Ho Chi Minh Wings' recent form, while Saigon Heat drop further behind the leaders. The gap between them remains narrow at this stage of the campaign.
