It turns out the Golden State Warriors making quick work of the Cleveland Cavaliers still makes for good television.
Despite the Warriors winning the first two games of the NBA Finals by a combined 48 points - the largest ever point-differential through two games - the 2016 edition has still been ABC's second-most watched finals ever after two contests.
ESPN said in a press release Monday the series is averaging 18,270,000 viewers after more than 17.3 million people tuned in Sunday to watch Golden State's 110-77 thrashing of Cleveland. Game 2 peaked with 19,367,000 viewers between 9:30 p.m. ET. and 10 p.m. ET., during the second half.
In addition, according to Fast Nationals data from Nielsen, ESPN said the NBA finals on ABC won the overall night on television for a 50th consecutive occasion.
The Cavaliers will try to bounce back Wednesday when the series shifts to Cleveland for Game 3.
