EL SEGUNDO- With a few minutes remaining in the Los Angeles D-Fenders’ third game of the season against the Sioux Falls Skyforce, the purple and gold appeared to have plenty of reason for distress. They were trailing against the team that had beaten them in the most recent D-League Finals and looked set to lose to them for the third time this season and second time in less than a week.
"He's about to cry, look. He's about to cry," one of the Sioux Falls players shouted from the bench at D-Fenders point guard Josh Magette, but in the end of another battle between the D-League’s two best teams it would be the Skyforce that walked away sad, even refusing to shake hands with Los Angeles following the game.
