One upshot of the current glut of streaming platforms is a flood of programming to fill them: something for every attention span, something to plug every potential gap of viewer inactivity that might render a certain streaming service irrelevant while some other service pulls ahead. And so stories get told and retold. The romantic comedies begin to feel the same. The dating reality shows rely (often successfully, it must be said) on the same dramatic tricks. Another consequence of this, for better or worse, is that the stories being told are pulling from more immediate memory.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Second Spectrum have partnered to bring a fan engagement tool that helps those watching at home to have the option to see the game like never before.

Recommended and trending highlights are available on-demand.
