Thanks to dynamite performances from Diamond Miller and Napheesa Collier, the Minnesota Lynx didn’t need much help securing a 97-92 win over the Washington Mystics Wednesday night.
They seemingly got it anyway, in the form of a fan near the courtside. As the Lynx prepared to close Washington out, the NBATV broadcast panned to this fan and his very evident passion. While the crew was trying to analyze the final few moments and set the stage, his loud energy simply drowned the broadcast out. It was to the point where you could barely hear the announcing team.
I know the camera panned over to him for that passion specifically, but that can’t have been what the broadcast planned for at such a critical moment.

Honestly? That’s what it’s all about. A fan getting invested in a close game is why we watch sports in the first place. So be it if it rubs against the analysis for a moment or two.
