  • West Coast tip-offs can run past midnight Eastern; catch-up lets you finish the game the next morning.
  • Fast breaks expose a weak connection first. If the picture smears in transition, drop from 4K to HD.
  • Keep the league channel and the national networks next to each other in favorites.
  • Set the player buffer to a medium value, about 2 to 3 seconds, so short dips do not freeze a possession.
