Despite the “blowout”, Game 2 of the series between the Warriors and the Lakers was still a hit on American television. The match thus attracted 7.35 million viewers on average, with a peak of 8.39 million.
This is a little less than Game 1, which had attracted 7.4 million viewers.
The NBA can in any case rub its hands, like its broadcasters, because the match was the most watched program on American television during this Thursday evening, especially among young adults. Between 18 and 54 years old, the audience shares of Game 2 were thus double that of any other program broadcast at the same time.
Overall, Stephen Curry and the Warriors confirm in any case their ability to attract television, having participated in the five most watched games since the start of these playoffs! And since 2012, they account for nine of the ten best audiences on first-round and conference semifinal games.
