New York sports fans straight-up did not have a good time on Saturday night. The New York Knicks were eliminated from the NBA playoffs by the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. On the other side of the country, the New York Yankees lost the second of their three-game World Series rematch against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Not fun for both teams to lose such meaningful games, even if the Knicks' loss is much more significant in the grand scheme. And the manner in which both losses occurred makes for some brutal sports history in the Big Apple.
