HÀ NỘI — Saigon Heat will host Hanoi Buffaloes in their fourth meet this season, with the winners topping the Việt Nam Basketball Association league’s ranking table on October 1.

The Heat are currently in the top position, and the Buffaloes are in second place with the same wins and losses.

The Heat are the most experienced team of the tournament as they are the first professional basketball club in Việt Nam and are taking part in the annual ASEAN league.

However, in previous matches in August, the Buffaloes beat them twice.

In the latest game, on September 7, the hosts won 65-63.

In today’s other game, Cantho Catfish will entertain HCM City Wings, who defeated Saigon Heat 92-73 10 days ago.

This will be an eagerly anticipated match as the Wings will present their new player Triệu Hán Minh, while Catfish will introduce Sang Đinh.

The Wings are in third place, while Catfish is one spot behind them. — VNS
