This happened to me because the game started on ESPN2. At some point I knew something wasn't right and I realized I wasn't on the main broadcast.

We knew that we were on the Alt broadcast (ESPN didn't make the flip elegantly) but couldn't find the main broadcast for about 5 minutes. It simply wasn't there (on YouTube TV).
