The Knicks' 201-game sellout streak is officially over

It's the end of an era. The Knicks sellout streak is done, as long as you're counting preseason games as legitimate competition.

Here's more from Marc Berman of the New York Post:

It's not too shocking that fans wouldn't want to come to the Garden to see a 17-win team open its preseason against Bauru, a non-NBA Brazilian squad. Plus, MSG only missed that sellout number by about 800 fans.

In some ways, that's more impressive. If fans were showing up everyday for a team that just went 17-65, you have to imagine they'll keep coming to the arena for a team that stands to be uncompetitive but that will certainly be better.
