Game 1 of the Western Conference finals drew a 3.9 overnight rating on ABC, the lowest opener for an NBA conference final since 2007 according to Sports Media Watch.
The 3.9 is a substantial decline for last year’s conference openers: 41 percent from the 6.6 for Celtics/Heat in the East, and 32 percent from the 5.7 for Spurs/Thunder in the West.
It was also the third-lowest overnight rating of the 2013 playoffs on ABC.
It ranks as the lowest-rated conference opener in the rated markets since 2007, when Cavaliers/Pistons drew a 3.5 and Jazz/Spurs drew a 3.8.
The ratings are impacted by several factors. Not only was the Spurs’ 105-83 victory the biggest blowout in a conference finals opener since 1998, San Antonio (36th) and Memphis (49th) rank among the smallest markets in the NBA.
