Game 4 of the series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies averaged 4.26 million viewers on TNT.
The number, representing a 34% increase from last season, is also the third highest viewership on cable for the first round of the playoffs.
It was also the sixth highest viewership across all networks, with the Lakers-Grizzlies and Warriors-Kings combining for seven out of the top eight most-watched first-round games (Game 4 of the Warriors-Kings included the highest viewership of any first round game in 21 years).
The Bucks-Heat Game 4 averaged 3.5 million viewers, with all four games in the series declining from last year’s equivalent window.
