For 29 teams, the last game of the season ends in a loss. The deeper your team gets into the playoffs, the more it stings. You start to allow yourself to believe in the impossible, and then those hopes get crushed beneath the bouncing ball. In my years of writing at Posting & Toasting, this is the latest in the calendar I’ve ever had to cover a game. It’s been a challenging season for me personally, as my wife was diagnosed with cancer in late September. Since then, the Knicks have been a reliable distraction through the hardest times my family has faced.
Pacers 125, Knicks 108: “Bad try, bad effort. See y’all next season.”
