MCALLEN, TEXAS - The NBA Development League Rio Grande Valley Vipers clinched the Western Conference Championship tonight with the Tulsa 66ers' 109-104 victory over the Austin Toros at the Austin Convention Center.

The Vipers are now assured of finishing with at least the number two seed in the playoffs, meaning home court advantage during not only the first round, but the semifinals as well.

Dates for the semifinal games will be announced at a later date.

Single-game playoff tickets are on sale now and can be purchased through the Vipers, Ticketmaster or the State Farm Arena box office.

Vipers season ticket holders also can purchase a playoff package that includes tickets to all six potential Vipers home playoff games at the discounted per-game price of their regular season tickets. Tickets to any games not played may be applied towards renewal of 2010-11 season tickets or may be redeemed for a refund following the conclusion of the playoffs.

The NBA Development League is using an expanded playoff format this season. The top three seeds will get to select their first round opponent from the bottom four teams. Each of the three rounds of playoffs will use a best-of-three format, with the lower seed hosting game one and the higher seed hosting games two and three if necessary.
