Buffalo, NY - The Buffalo Silverbacks defeated the Richmond Ballerz 119-97 Wednesday night at Buffalo State College Arena. This is Buffalo's 4th straight win at home as they quickly climb back from an 0-4 record to 4-5. The Silverbacks pulled off to an early lead and held steady through the first half. Richmond closed the gap to 10 points in the third as emotions soared and game play became very physical. In the end, Richmond just couldn't recover from the perimeter shooting of the Silverbacks.

Antoine Sims led the team in scoring with 22 points, Dameon Sansom was just behind with 20 and Lamar Castile turned in 15 points with 10 rebounds. Victor Venteres and Koran Barnes had 11 points each, totaling five of Buffalo's players in double digits.
