Prime Video Sports' NBA Playoffs coverage, which includes the entire SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament and select first and second-round Playoff game, will continue to leverage technology to enhance the viewing experience through fan-first features.

They enhance Prime Video's coverage across the NFL, NASCAR, Champions League soccer, and most recently the Masters.
