Seriously, why was it blocked on YoutubeTV? Was this a regional thing? Or just not putting too many NBA games on without some sore of special NBA subscription?
I believe any game that's on the teams' regional networks is blacked out. Since the game was on NBATV instead of TNT/ESPN, it was also broadcast on the regional networks (Fanduel Sports Midwest for the Pacers).Not sure. As I said I didn't know TV blackouts were still a thing.
So, it was blacked out in Iowa because Iowa is blacked out for Pacers regional network games (and Bulls and Timberwolves, but not the Bucks, for some reason).
