MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com – LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - April 6 – Anthony Roberson poured in 31 points in a Friday night NBA D-League game as the Arkansas RimRockers escaped with a win over the Sioux Falls Skyforce, 123-120, at Alltel Arena.

Wearing their NBA Affiliate uniforms, the game resembled a close fought battle between the Miami Heat (Arkansas) and Detroit Pistons (Sioux Falls), where Arkansas was able to pick up another win at home improving their overall record to 15-33. Sioux Falls (28-19) dropped a pivotal game in their quest for a first round bye and home court advantage in the playoffs, falling 2.5 games behind Dakota for the top spot in the Eastern Division.

“I think it was a game that we stuck together down the stretch,” said Roberson. “It’s a game of runs, and we were able to stop their big runs. At the end, we got the ball to the right people and scored when we needed to.”
