CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) \u2014 Amazon Prime Video’s stream of the Miami-Charlotte play-in game went offline for nearly two minutes during the overtime period, causing fans to miss a Hornets possession.<\/p>\n
Stan Van Gundy, working the game as an analyst for Prime Video, was midsentence when the audio feed was lost coming out of a timeout with 48.1 seconds remaining. A message about \u201ctechnical difficulties\u201d began displaying on screens a few seconds later.<\/p>\n
When the video and audio feeds resumed, Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball had scored for a 125-120 lead. Fans missed 22.1 seconds of playing time.<\/p>\n
Charlotte went on to win 127-126.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Prime said the issue was caused by \u201ca hardware failure in our production truck.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur teams restored the feed as quickly as possible to ensure fans could watch the conclusion of the game. We are conducting a thorough internal review to determine the cause of the outage,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
