Silverbacks go to Second Round ABA Playoffs

March 16, 2007 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Buffalo Silverbacks News Release


Buffalo, NY - The Buffalo Silverbacks head to Jacksonville, FL for the second round of the ABA playoffs. After receiving a bye in the first round, the Silverbacks eagerly await their chance to meet up with the Jacksonville Jam and hopefully move on to the next round.

The two teams battled one time earlier this season when Buffalo made a last minute trip to Jacksonville the day after rising victorious against the Detroit Panthers at home. Buffalo led Jacksonville for most of the game by a margin of 10 points or better, up 13 at the half. An incredible fourth quarter play by ex-Buffalo Silverback DeRon Rutledge was key in bringing the Jam victory home. That was the only loss the Silverbacks have had in the last ten games in preparation for the playoffs.

The two teams face off Friday night at the University of North Florida. For more information please go to www.buffalosilverbacks.com.
