Thanh Vũ |

On the evening of June 20, Nha Trang Dolphins won 91-80 against Ho Chi Minh City Wings, thereby rising to 4th place on the VBA 2026 rankings.

Nha Trang Dolphins made a change in the starting lineup when defender Nguyen Hoang Phuc was given a starting spot. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City Wings maintained the same framework that helped this team win in the previous match.

The two teams entered the game at high speed and continuously organized quick counter-attacks. After a period of early balanced play, Nha Trang Dolphins temporarily led 21-20 when closing the first half.

In the second half, the away team took better advantage of scoring opportunities. The foreign duo, especially Chris Bryant, continuously created a difference to help the coastal city representative increase the gap. At the end of the quarter, Nha Trang Dolphins took a 45-38 lead.

The game continued to lean towards the away team in the 3rd half. The Mongolian duo of Nha Trang Dolphins, notably Azzaya Batkhuyag, played effectively in the area under the basket, helping the home team maintain a 70-64 advantage before entering the decisive half.

In the 4th round, Ho Chi Minh City Wings made efforts to narrow the gap thanks to Dakota Zinser's scoring. At one point, the home team was only 1 point behind the opponent. However, the timely brilliance of Nasanbat Munkhchudur helped Nha Trang Dolphins maintain the game. In addition, the fact that center forward Dmytro Tykhonov had to leave the field due to 5 personal fouls at the end of the match also significantly affected the competitiveness of Ho Chi Minh City Wings.

In the end, Nha Trang Dolphins won with a score of 91-80.

Nasanbat Munkhchudur was voted the best player of the match (POTG) with 19 points, 11 rebounds and a finishing efficiency of 64% (9/14). In addition to the Mongolian player, newcomer Chris Bryant also continued to show positive integration in the play of the coastal city team.

After this result, Ho Chi Minh City Wings has a record of 3 wins, 3 losses and continues to rank 3rd in the rankings. Meanwhile, Nha Trang Dolphins has their second victory since the beginning of the season to rise to 4th place.
