- Game 2 of the Spurs/Suns series drew a 13.9 rating in the Phoenix DMA Wednesday night, down 19% from a 17.2 for Monday’s Game 1. Though some might attribute that decline to the Suns wearing their ‘Los Suns’ jerseys in protest of the Arizona immigration law, keep in mind that there were some other factors in play as well — namely, the fact that Game 2 began at 6 PM local time, as opposed to a 7:30 PM start for Game 1.
