YouTube TV falters at finish of Celtics-Warmth recreation

That won’t have been such a nasty factor for Boston followers in the long run — the Warmth beat the sloppy Celtics, 123-116, with Boston committing 4 turnovers in these ultimate minutes — however it was exasperating within the second.

With 4 minutes and 47 seconds left and the Warmth main the Celtics 114-110, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra referred to as a timeout, and TNT went to interrupt. In the midst of the trailer for the film “The Little Mermaid,” the feed buffered and wouldn’t enable viewers to advance previous the trailer. A portion of the business would play on a loop, then restart once more.

Related points didn’t plague some other channels on the streaming service. TNT didn’t operate appropriately on YouTube TV till shortly after the sport was full.

YouTube TV acknowledged the issue on Twitter however didn’t clarify what had occurred.

“in case you have a problem watching the Miami Warmth vs. Boston Celtics recreation on TNT, we’re conscious of it & our workforce is engaged on a repair – thx a lot to your endurance!”
