T-Mobile Outage Could Affect Many Rockets Fans Tonight

The Houston Rockets advise fans with T-Mobile to add ID to Flash Seats account for tonight's Game 5 at the Toyota Center against the Jazz.

HOUSTON, TX — The Houston Rockets have advised fans who intend on going to tonight's Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals to check their phones or devices if they use Flash Seats to enter the arena.

T-Mobile has been down most of the afternoon in Houston because of a major fiber cut. The Rockets say all T-Mobile users coming to the game should ensure an ID has been added to your Flash Seats account for entrance into the arena.

The Rockets lead the Utah Jazz 3 games to 1 in the best-of-7 series in the Western Conference semifinal playoffs. The Rockets can close out the series with a win Tuesday night. The winner of this series advances to the conference finals to face either the New Orleans Pelicans or the defending NBA champs Golden State Warriors.
