Boston Celtics

Strong ratings for Celtics-Lakers

Last night’s Lakers-Celtics game was the most-watched regular season game on TNT since Feb. 2, 1996, when Michael Jordan’s Bulls faced the Lakers. Drawing over 4.3 million total viewers (a 2.7 rating), the game also drew the most viewers for a game on cable since Christmas 2004, when ESPN televised the first game between Indiana and Detroit since the brawl between Pacers players and Pistons fans earlier that season.
