The NBA 2K League postponed eight of the scheduled 10 Eastern Conference group-play matches for The Tipoff event on Thursday, citing "a nationwide server outage."

Makeup dates weren't immediately announced.

In the two matches that were completed, 76ers GC (3-2) earned a 75-59 win over HeatCheck Gaming (3-2), and Celtics Crossover Gaming (3-1) posted a 71-58 victory over Magic Gaming (3-3).
