NBA Finals ratings hit another low Friday night, with Game 4 overnights the
lowest in a dozen years.
Friday’s Raptors-Warriors NBA Finals Game 4 earned a 9.8 overnight rating on
ABC, down 13% from last year (11.2) and down 22% from 2017 (12.6), both of
which were Warriors-Cavaliers matchups.
The 9.8 is the lowest for Game 4 of the NBA Finals since 2007
(Spurs-Cavaliers: 7.8) and the lowest for any NBA Finals game since 2009
(Lakers-Magic Game 5: 9.4). Keep in mind Game 4 was just the fourth NBA
Finals telecast on a Friday night — one of the lowest rated nights of the
week — since 2003.
Each game of the series has set or tied at least a ten-year low, with Games 3
and 4 both the lowest since the record-low 2007 series.
The 9.8 is also the lowest of the series, falling narrowly behind Game 3
(10.0).
This year’s NBA Finals is the first to involve the Raptors, whose Canadian
fanbase does not count toward U.S. television ratings. Local ratings in the
Bay Area were not immediately available.
Game 4 snapped a streak of 55 straight NBA Finals games with a double-digit
overnight rating. Single-digit overnights are not uncommon for other
championship sporting events; three of last year’s five World Series games
failed to crack a 10.0 in the metered markets.
Final ratings for each of the the first three games declined 22% from the
overnight — the largest drop for any finals game since 2003. A similar
decline for Game 4 would put final ratings at a 7.6.

本季G4是12年來(美國本土)收視率最低的G4。
暴龍對勇士G4收視率為9.8%，比去年的11.2%掉了13%、比前年的12.6掉了22%。
上次比他低的G4是2007年的馬刺對騎士的7.8%。
也是自2009年湖人對魔術的9.4%以來，單場最低的總冠比賽收視率。
但這收視調查並沒有涵蓋到加拿大，只是美國本土的收視率調查。
