How are sports channels able to make a 10 min highlight reel from a 1hr+ game so quickly?

I’ve noticed that sports channels are able to upload a highlight reel for YouTube so fast. Doesn’t it normally take hours to edit a video?

The interesting part for me is that the highlight reel also changes dramatically based on who won.

For example, an NBA game that’s 100-100 with 2 minutes to go is a close game, could go either way.

Then one team ends up winning 106-104.

That highlight reel is going to show different highlights for the whole game, based on those last few points. The winning team is going to get more positive highlights, and the losing team will get a few more lowlights. “The losers couldn’t keep up with the 3 point barrage of the winners” or whatever. Despite the fact that with a different last 5 seconds of the game, the entire highlight package might have told a different story.
