Sure, watching a basketball game is fun, but it's common knowledge that all the really

It appears the NBA knows this too, and is on the verge of making it a whole lot easier to catch the fourth quarter of your favorite game. Oh, and significantly cheaper as well. 。

This welcomed news was brought to us, as so many things are these days, via an app push notification that was screengrabbed and tweeted out.。

"Playoff positioning is on the line," read the notification. "Watch the 4th quarter of Heat-Thunder live for just 99 cents on League Pass."。

This is a far cry from the $28.99 a month a fan would have to shell out for League Pass, a package that lets you watch any and all NBA games live. Importantly, it's also only offering access to the fourth quarter, but that could be enough to convince a couch-bound NBA fan to tune into the last minutes of a tight game. 。

Thanks for signing up!  。

And hey, 99 cents isn't that bad! 。

Now, definitely keep in mind that the NBA hasn't officially announced anything yet about making this a widespread offering. In other words, this very well could be a small test that never goes anywhere. 。

But we shouldn't be surprised if it does. That's because, as SportTechie reported last year, the idea has a big fan in NBA commissioner Adam Silver. 。

“I think you’re going to get to the point where somebody wants to watch the last five minutes of the game, and they go click, they’ll pay a set price for five minutes as opposed to what they would pay for two hours of the game,” the site reports Silver as explaining.
