Am i watching a different stream? Pretty sure that is a fully packed arena. Something i wish to see in my Magic games again.

There are a lot of empty seats right on the lower central sections close to the court, but yes once they zoom out and show the rest its full.

Clarkson is cooking in the 1st Half

The arena can host 46,000 fans, but there are more than 30,000 fans in attendance right now.

PH should surprise Dom by Junmar attacking KAT’s defense.

Yeah I was surprised at that. They very obviously packed out the on camera side because entire low-mid bays were empty on the reverse angle

I would be if we had our best players all show up and commit. Adding Murray and Wiggins - or even Boucher and Birch - for example to this team would make a huge difference.
