Buffalo, NY - Tyrone Rayson had a game high 31 points, but it wasn't nearly enough for Buffalo as they drop their 16th straight, a 132-100 loss at the hands of Rochester.

Rochester shot 57.3 percent from the field and led this one for all but 19 seconds of the contest. The RazorSharks led by eight after one quarter; 14 after two; 22 at the end of three and ended up with a 32 point victory over the worst team in the PBL.

For Buffalo, who are now 1-16 on the season, Derick Payne added 25 points with Markus Price chipping in 17.

The win gives Rochester a one and a half game lead over Wilmington in the PBL's Eastern Division. If the season were to end tonight, Rochester would take on Manchester in the best of three second round.

Rochester and Buffalo continue their three game set on Sunday in Rochester.
