From the AP:
The Lakers-Celtics matchup gave the NBA Finals' television ratings a big boost.
Game 1 on Thursday averaged an 8.7 rating on ABC, the network said Friday. That's up 38 percent from the 6.3 during last year's Cavaliers-Spurs series.
It's the highest Game 1 rating since Lakers-Pistons in 2004 drew a 9.8.
The rating is the percentage watching a program among homes with televisions.
Huh? More people watched Game 1 of Lakers-Pistons than Lakers-Celtics???
UPDATE:
I looked into that Laker-Piston Game 1 from 2004. It was played on a Sunday, so maybe that explains its higher TV ratings versus an opening game on a Thursday night...
