New York sports fans, right away, did not have a good time on Saturday evening. New York Knicks NBA qualifiers have been eliminated By the Indiana Pacers in match 6 of the final of the Eastern Conference. On the other side of the country, New York Yankees lost the second of their revenge of three matches on the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Not fun for both teams to lose such significant games, even if the loss of knicks is much more important in the large scheme. And the way in which the two losses occurred for a certain brutal sports history in the Big Apple.
By optastats, the Knicks and Yankees losing both at least 15 Meaning New York City is the first metropolitan region in the history of sport to lose an MLB and NBA team on the same day.
It is obviously much more impressive than the Yankees managed to lose by 15 in a baseball match; The Dodgers took them to the cleaners with an 18-2 defeat. He became so bad so quickly, with 10 points scored in the first two rounds of Los Angeles, that Shohei Ohtani seemed to take a nap In the canoe, but the loss of the end of the season of the Knicks in 17 points against the Pacers certainly stings more.
A piece of history of ignominious sport for New York fans to think. The Yankees, at least, get an immediate blow to redemption with another match against the Dodgers on Sunday evening. It will be much longer until the Knicks can try to redeem themselves, as they must now look at the rest of the playoffs at their home.
