During the NBA Play-In Tournament on April 15, 2026, Amazon Prime Video's stream of the Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets game went offline for nearly two minutes in overtime, with the audio feed cutting out mid-sentence before a "technical difficulties" message appeared on screen. A Prime Video spokesperson attributed the outage to "a hardware failure in our production truck." The incident was particularly notable as it was Prime Video's first postseason NBA broadcast under its 11-year, $1.8 billion-per-year deal with the league, which granted it exclusive rights to the Play-In Tournament and early-round playoff games.
