Sunday’s Nuggets-Thunder second round NBA playoff Game 7 averaged 6.34 million viewers on ABC, down only 2% from Pacers-Knicks last year (6.45M), despite the smaller-market matchup and 32-point blowout. (Nielsen’s recent expansion of out-of-home viewing likely helped narrow the gap.) On Friday night, the Knicks’ 38-point Game 6 rout of the Celtics averaged 5.73 million — up 14% from Knicks-Pacers a year ago (5.02M).
