Sunday’s Game 7 averaged 6.6 million viewers. Among cable telecasts, that ranks as most-viewed Game 7 of a first-round NBA series since 2009.

The Golden State Warriors made a major statement in Wednesday night's Game 1 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals. In a game that saw Warriors star Stephen Curry exit early due to a hamstring injury, they still stayed in control, winning 99-88.
