The return of the Kings to the playoffs, 17 years later, against the defending champions Warriors, are perfect ingredients to make you want to watch this series, the most watched in this first round of the 2023 playoffs.
Viewers had been there for the first two rounds in Sacramento, with an average of 6.26 million people watching Game 1, then 4.32 million watching Game 2.
Game 3, broadcast on TNT and won by Golden State, was watched by an average of 4.12 million viewers, we learn Sports MediaWatch. This is 11% more than the game between the Nuggets and the Warriors at this same stage last season.
This duel therefore did not suffer from competition with Game 3 between the Suns and the Clippers, broadcast almost simultaneously on NBA TV. This series between Phoenix and Los Angeles also achieves good audience figures, in any case much better than those of last season, at the same times.
