Reno Bighorns News Release


RENO, Nev. - With 47 games in the books, the Reno Bighorns will play the most crucial game in franchise history tonight, when they play host to the Tulsa 66ers at 7 p.m. in the Reno Events Center.

The Bighorns trail the 66ers by just one-half game for the eighth and final NBA D-League playoff spot. A win for Reno tonight would put them in temporary control of the eighth playoff slot, with just two games remaining on the schedule. A victory would also give Reno the tie-breaker over Tulsa, should both teams finish the season with an identical record.

The Bighorns and 66ers have met four times this season, with the series tied at two games apiece. Reno enters tonight's contest on a four-game winning streak. Tulsa has won two-straight. A playoff berth for the Bighorns would mark the first in franchise history.

Tonight's game is Latino Night, with $1 tacos and $3 margaritas available throughout the game. Tickets for tonight's game start at just $7 per ticket, with group rates starting at $6 per ticket. Tickets are on-sale now at www.RenoBighorns.com, the Reno Events Center Box Office, Silver Legacy Box Office, or by visiting any Northern Nevada Ticketmaster location or Web site. 2010-11 Bighorns season tickets are available now.
