NBA fans were outraged after OT game caused many to miss start of Lakers-Clippers

The first meeting between the revamped Lakers and Clippers rosters is one of the most highly anticipated NBA opening-night in recent memory, but fans tuning in on TNT missed the start of the game after Tuesday’s Pelicans-Raptors game went to overtime.

With the game tied at 117-117 in Toronto, Norman Powell missed a very long three-pointer that would have won the game. The start of the Lakers-Clippers game was moved to NBA TV until the Pelicans-Raptors game concluded, but fans didn’t want to miss a second of LeBron James vs. Kawhi Leonard.

Y’all know damn well we wanna see the Lakers Vs. Clippers game @tnt.. Y’all can cut this overtime game off. We can catch the rest of this on Sports Center!!!
