Wassup in Westchester: The D-League season ends in true Knicks style...with a loss

The Westchester Knicks (19-31) ended the 2016-17 D-League campaign in the way we can only hope for their bigger brothers — in other words, with a loss. The W-Knicks suffered a 116-102 defeat at home to the Long Island Nets (17-33). With a nice attendance of 2,234, fans witnessed a back-and-forth nail bitter until the fourth quarter. Westchester just ran out of oxygen in the final minutes to close out the season. Shooting only 40% from the field, including 5-20 from downtown, was not nearly enough to stave off another loss. The Brooklyn Nets D-League affiliate, who like the Knicks will miss the D-league playoffs this year, had just a little more in tank in the closing minutes.
