Ratings Breakdown:
The sixth (and final) game of the NBA Finals (Toronto Raptors 114, Golden State Warriors 110) led ABC to a significant Thursday overnight victory. It averaged an estimated 12.5 rating/23 share in households in primetime. The actual end time of the game was 11:48 p.m. ET (which is not factored into this average).

In series finale news, NBC sitcoms “A.P. Bio” (two episodes – 8:30 p.m. 1.2/ 2 (#4) and 9 p.m. 1.0/ 2 (#4) and “Abby’s” (#4: 0.9/ 2 at 9:30 p.m.) earned their cancellation stripes.

On Fox, the 2019 U.S. Open Golf Championship barely resonated with a 1.9/ 4 from 8-9:30 p.m.

Also original last night was the final season of “Elementary” on CBS (#2: 2.8/ 5 at 10 p.m.) and The CW dramas “iZombie” (#5: 0.6/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “In the Dark” (#5: 0.5/ 1 at 9 p.m.), which lives up to its title in these overnight ratings.
