High TV Ratings for Celtics, Lakers Finals Rematch

February 6 -- The NBA Finals rematch between the Celtics and Lakers drew the highest rating on TNT since a 1996 game featuring Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. The Lakers’ 110-109 overtime victory delivered a 2.7 U.S. rating, watched by more than 4.3 million viewers.

In a rematch of an NBA finals in which the Celtics outmuscled the Lakers for the title, Lamar Odom made a pair of free throws with 16 seconds left in overtime and Los Angeles held on with physical defense against Paul Pierce and Ray Allen that prevented either All-Star from getting off a clean shot.

The loss snapped the Celtics' 12-game winning streak. Boston trails the Lakers by percentage points for the best overall record in the NBA, and would lose a tiebreaker for home court advantage in the finals. That is, if both teams make it back there this year.
