Thursday Final Nationals: Cleveland-Indiana NBA Playoff Game 3 on TNT Leads Key Prime Time Adult and Male Demos

CBS was Thursday night’s leader in total viewers (5.09 million), while cable network TNT, with a “2017 NBA Playoff” doubleheader of Game 3s: Cleveland at Indiana and San Antonio at Memphis, led among adults 18-49 (approx. 1.4 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 1.4 rating), and adults 25-54 (approx. 1.5 rating).

According to Turner Sports, Cleveland’s 119-114 comeback win over Indiana on TNT averaged 3.6 million viewers, +42 percent over the year-ago comparable Thursday NBA playoff game (Oklahoma City-Dallas from Apr. 21, 2016). The game won the night on cable (the fifth time this spring an NBA playoff had done so) and was TV’s top telecast for People/Men 18-34, People/Men 18-49 & Men 25-54.
