Apparently during the banner raising of the Boston Celtics' 18th NBA title TNT cut to a commercial break and Celtic fans are mad over it. At first, since I saw that it was Athlon Sports I thought they were just making a narrative to appeal to a certain audience but they had legitimate sources backing up this claim. One of those legitimate sources is Sports Illustrated which they posted on their social media accounts. And even some posts from Celtic fans. Well at the end of the day every network cuts to commercial break at a bad time.

This is true. During TNT's coverage of the NBA Boston Celtics championship celebration it was abruptly interpreted by commercial. This incident was covered by various sports media sites such as Sports Illustrated. Not only that dozens of individuals have posted clips as well.

Hello Derek! This is true. I watched the Celtics game yesterday, and TNT cued the commercial and cut off the banner celebration. Many videos are circulating on social media about what happened, and this has caused a heated debate on X. Below, I have linked other sites that back your claim. This latest injustice begs the question: Does the NBA truly favor the Lakers?
