Sunrise, FL. In a memorable opening night for the ABA Florida Pit Bulls, former Miami Heat All-Star Tim Hardaway recorded 34 points as the Pit Bulls defeated the Orange County Buzz 114-111 in front of 4,357 energetic fans at the BankAtlantic Center.
Make sure to be a part of another raucous crowd and a great night of entertainment when the Pit Bulls hit the hardwood at the BankAtlantic Center on Tuesday, Nov 29 against the Charlotte Krunk. Tickets can be purchased by calling 1 888 4 TIM TIX.
Former University of Miami center Rodrigue Djahue described one of the league's largest crowds of the season as "crazy and unbelievable" when speaking with the Sun-Sentinal after Sunday's game. At one point in the third quarter, the energetic crowd was so loud that the players on both teams even had trouble hearing the referees' whistles.
Rap icon Doug E. Fresh and popular hip-hop group Pretty Ricky delivered sensational performances for the Pit Bulls' fans in their post-game concerts. The game was also highlighted by performances by the Pit Bulls dance team directed by Manny Castro of Dance Town. Lisa Lee served as the in-arena host, while Prince Markie Dee of 103.5 The Beat and DJ Don P kept the crowd on their feel with some of the latest hip-hop sounds.
