The Pacers game is blocked in a specific area due to NBA blackout restrictions. These blackouts are based on your geographical location, determined by your IP address or location services, and exist because local and national broadcasters have exclusive rights to televise games in their respective regions. If the Pacers game is being shown live on a local or national TV channel in your area, the NBA League Pass or certain streaming platforms will block the live stream to protect these broadcasting rights. This is common for local fans who usually watch games on regional sports networks via cable or satellite TV. Games that are blacked out live are often available to watch on-demand after they have aired. In summary, the blackout is to ensure that local broadcasters who purchased exclusive rights to the game maintain their viewership and revenue, which prevents the same game from being streamed live online in those specific areas.
