On Tuesday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced plans to allow fans to buy games while they are already in progress.
Silver explained that portions of games will be available to purchase for a reduced rate for fans who may not have been able to watch a game until the end, people who only have a certain amount of time to watch a game but don't want to pay for the entire game because they will not finish it or people who may only want to watch the end of a game because there is going to be an exciting finish.
