Jairus Holder and Coach Todd Purves "take a shower early", Hanoi Buffaloes easily won Danang Dragons
Marching to Son Tra Stadium of Danang Dragons, Hanoi Buffaloes determined to win to aim for 1st place on VBA Regular Season 2023 standings.
With Anthony January's terrible performance, the maximum concentration of 12 people being thrown into the field plus the personnel problem on the side of Danang Dragons, "Do Buffalo" has stepped a little closer to the top of the rankings. .

The Danang Dragons did not play badly in the early game, taking advantage of the home field advantage to compete with their higher-rated team, the Hanoi Buffaloes.
However, difficulties soon appeared when coach Todd Purves was disqualified from directing due to a harsh reaction to the referees. It is worth noting that Mr. Todd Purves was recently suspended for committing 3 technical fouls, this time the American strategist continued to receive a technical foul and was expelled from the field.
Not stopping there, Dragons also lost another foreign soldier with 2 technical errors due to reaction. If Jermaine Marrow made a mistake last game, this time it's Jairus Holder's turn.


Danang Dragons can make it difficult for Hanoi Buffaloes when owning 100% of the troops. But both lack of head coach and lack of JR Holder, everything has become too difficult for assistant coach Vu The Cang and his students.
On the side of Hanoi Buffaloes, Anthony January showed an impressive scoring performance. It was his focus and determination to win that spread to his teammates, helping the Buffaloes go straight to the finish line with all 4 overwhelming rounds.
The final whistle sounded with the overall victory of 115-83 belonging to Hanoi Buffaloes. This result marks their 12th win in 15 appearances since the beginning of the season, and helps the "Capital Buffalo" close to Saigon Heat at the top of the VBA 2023 chart.
