At noon on May 7 (Hanoi time), the Vietnamese women's 3x3 basketball team defeated the Philippines to win a historic gold medal at the 32nd SEA Games.

The Vietnamese women's 3x3 basketball team, including Vietnamese-American twins Truong Thao My, Truong Thao Vy, Huynh Thi Ngoan and Nguyen Thi Tieu Duy, defeated the Philippines 21-16 in the final, bringing home the second gold medal of the competition day on May 7 after Pham Tien San (duathlon). |

The Vietnamese team was at a disadvantage when they were trailing 3-5 at the beginning of the match. However, the Vietnamese girls played with concentration, taking advantage of every point to take the lead over their opponents. |
 |
Vietnamese-American twins Thao My and Thao Vy were still the bright spots with their powerful dribbling and accurate two-point shots. The aggressiveness of the Truong sisters helped them maintain the lead over the Philippines, a strong candidate for the gold medal. |
 |
Meanwhile, Huynh Thi Ngoan and Nguyen Thi Tieu Duy also played with great effort despite being injured. In the group stage match, Vietnam only had a narrow victory 21-19 against the Philippines. |

The Philippines does not have many options to counter Thao Vy or Thao My's ability to score. |

Emotions were overwhelming when the Vietnamese team won the gold medal in a basketball event for the first time in history. Members of the coaching staff came to celebrate with the female players after the victory. |

Huynh Ngoan celebrates with Thao Vy. She is the captain of the Vietnamese women's basketball team. She also performed well in both matches against the Philippines in the group stage and the final. |

Thao Vy burst into tears after helping Vietnam win the gold medal. She is one of the outstanding female athletes of Vietnamese basketball at the 32nd SEA Games. |
 |
Truong Thao My (Kaylynne Truong) and Truong Thao Vy (Kayleigh Truong) were the key players in this victory of the Vietnamese 3x3 basketball team. They returned from the US and were part of the 3x3 and 5x5 basketball teams from the previous SEA Games in Hanoi. |

Vietnam's 3x3 women's basketball team successfully changed the color of their medals at the 32nd SEA Games. At the tournament a year ago on home soil, Vietnam lost to Thailand in the final. |
