TNT drew mixed numbers for a pair of series finales on Wednesday night.
Game 5 of the Bulls/Heat second round NBA playoff series drew just under 5.5 million viewers on TNT Wednesday night, up 2% from Celtics/Sixers Game 6 on ESPN last year (5.4M), but down 19% from Celtics/Heat Game 5 in 2011 (6.8M).
The game ranks as the sixth-most viewed of the playoffs on any network, and the third-most viewed on cable.
Later Wednesday night, Game 5 between the Grizzlies and Thunder drew nearly 5.3 million viewers, down 4% from the same matchup in 2011 (5.5M). There was no comparable window last year.
Game 5 was easily the most-viewed of the Grizzlies/Thunder series.
