It’s no surprise that the Celtics have been beating the Bruins in the ratings. The real surprise is how slim the margin has been.
Boston Sports Media Watch reports that the Celtics’ Game 2 win over the Bulls drew a 9.0 rating in Boston on Monday night on TNT and CSN New England. Meanwhile, Bruins/Canadiens Game 3 drew an 8.9 at the same time on NESN.
This comes after Saturday’s Game 1 between the Celtics and Bulls drew a 9.5 in Boston, compared to a 9.4 for Bruins/Canadiens Game 1 earlier that week. Local ratings for Bruins/Canadiens Game 2 are unavailable.
