Game 2 Of Bucks-Raptors Scores Lowest Conference Finals Rating Since Spurs-Jazz In 2007 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon May 20, 2019 10:25 pm

Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals was the NBA's smallest TV audience for that round of the playoffs in a dozen years.


The game drew 4.39 million viewers on TNT, down 48 percent from Cavaliers-Celtics last season, which aired after the NBA Draft Lottery. 


The most recent least-watched game in the Conference Finals was Jazz-Spurs Game 5 in 2007 at 3.97 million viewers.


Game 3 of Raptors-Bucks had a 4.5 overnight rating. It also aired 90 minutes earlier than usual to avoid competing against the entirety of HBO's Game of Thrones, which was watched by 18.4 million people including streaming.
