Amazon Prime Video’s stream of the Miami Heat–Charlotte Hornets play-in game went offline for nearly two minutes during the overtime period, interrupting coverage at a critical point of the matchup.
The outage occurred late in the extra session and resulted in fans missing a Hornets possession while the game was still in the balance.
Late-game interruption during a high-stakes play-in
The play-in format places added weight on every possession, and the brief loss of the live feed came during the game’s decisive stretch. Viewers following on Prime Video were unable to see the full sequence of action during the downtime.
The stream later returned, but the interruption drew attention because it happened in overtime of a close, postseason-entry game.
