LeBron James Reacts to Prime Video's ‘Technical Difficulties' During Hornets-Heat
With the No. 10 seed Miami Heat and the No. 9 seed Charlotte Hornets looking to keep their seasons alive in the NBA play-in tournament, the NBA experienced a slight streaming disaster.
Before the Hornets were able to win 127-126 in overtime, Amazon's broadcast went off air for around two minutes with a "technical difficulties" graphic appearing on the screen. Now, there is never a good time for a broadcast to go down, but with the teams going blow-for-blow in overtime in a do-or-die game, there likely couldn't be a worse time.
As expected, fans flooded to social media to air out their complaints. One of the more notable peopel frustrated was Los Angeles Lakers star, LeBron James.
"Tell me the game didn't just cut off?!!? Am I trippin?? WTH," wrote James on X.
