With a dominant 3-0 sweep over Cantho Catfish in the finals


In the starting lineup for the do-or-die match, the Can Tho home team utilized the successful formula from the semi-finals. Coach Le Tran Minh Nghia included 2005-born Le Hoang Quan in the starting five. Meanwhile, the visitors made no changes to their lineup.


Dư Minh An delivered clutch performances

Cantho Catfish focused on feeding the ball to Yevgen Sakhniuk to attack the paint. In the 5th minute, the Ukrainian's efforts, combined with a double foul on Jevonnie Scott, yielded positive results for the home team. Capitalizing on the absence of their opponent's star player, Cantho Catfish accelerated their pace. In response, Elijah Weaver took on the role of the visitors' primary scorer. His composure kept Saigon Heat in the game. With strong support from bench players Tim Waale and Nguyen Anh Kiet, Saigon Heat even managed to take a 24-21 lead.

In the final quarter, Elijah Weaver shined with a series of consecutive scores including three three-pointers. With the support of his teammates, they gained a large lead and won 95-83, ending the suspense.
