Joining the Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trail Blazers, the Buffalo
Braves began their inaugural NBA season in 1970. Named for the Native
American history of Buffalo, NY, the Braves started things off right
with a 107-92 in their very first game. However, the victory came at
the hands of fellow expansion squad Cleveland, who would go on to post
the NBA's worst record in 1970. The club would spend eight seasons in
Buffalo before moving to San Diego and assuming the moniker, Clippers.
