The NBA playoffs have concluded with cause for celebration in the league office on 5th Avenue.
The NBA announced Tuesday that its games averaged 5.47 million viewers across ABC, ESPN and TNT throughout the postseason, the highest number in five years. Since May 1, the league said, nine of the top 10 most-watched television programs were NBA playoff games.This number marked a 6 percent drop from last season’s Finals featuring the Warriors defeating the Celtics, which averaged 12.4 million viewers across six games.
Though all professional sports leagues would prefer their championship rounds only go up in perpetuity, this number for the Finals has to be considered a big win for the NBA. Last year’s Finals featured arguably the sport’s biggest draw — the Warriors — against a legacy franchise in the Celtics, plus it went an extra game, and viewership tends to escalate in Game 6 of series.The reason that the ratings were up despite the slight drop-off in the championship round is that the early roundsFor example, Game 7 of Celtics-76ers on ABC drew 8.44 million viewers while Game 6 of Lakers-Warriors on ESPN drew 8.
Five out of the six games in the Lakers-Warriors series were in the top-10 most-viewed first- or second-round playoff games in the past 10 years, according to data
