Wonderful, the seventh game between the Warriors and the Rockets hits a record high in TV ratings in the NBA since 2009

The Warriors and Rockets' series are not only exciting, but their ratings have also created the history of the NBA playoffs.

There is no doubt that the first-round playoff series between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets had a huge success. Although Adam Silver and the league management may want to see less physical confrontation as both teams were convicted of technical fouls and malicious fouls, the NBA's ratings and audience numbers prove that this is exactly the showdown between the two teams that one would like to see. The first round series between the Warriors and the Rockets was one of the first round series that reached the seventh game of the final victory, with the other two being the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers. However, at the beginning of the NBA playoffs, the outstanding performances of the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets drove the ratings to soar. The final game of the

series was held on Sunday, with a record high in the NBA since 2009. The seventh game between the Warriors and the Rockets aired by TNT Sports is the seventh game of the first round series with the highest viewership of cable channels since 2009, with an average audience of 6.6 million.

TNT said that compared with the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs, TNT's overall ratings increased by 4%, with an average audience of 3.3 million, and two weeks before the start of the game, its prime-time ratings ranked first among cable channels among those under 35.

This round of series has become the focus of the NBA's attention, and it is not surprising to the NBA.

Apart from the funny performances of Draymond Green, Dillon Brooks and others, this competition has been around since the Warriors' first championship in 2015. Stephen Curry and his team always seem to play against the Houston Rockets in the playoffs, and many people still remember their historic showdown with James Harden and Chris Paul.

This time, Curry, Green and Jimmy Butler led the Warriors to the young, dynamic and athletic Rockets, who won 52 regular season wins and eventually won second place in the Western Conference. The Golden State Warriors have always been one of the most market-worthy teams in the league, so it is no surprise to see Curry lead in playoff ratings. Earlier in the playoffs, the league announced that the first weekend of the eight-game series in the Eastern and Western Conferences increased 17% from 2024. So it's the highest-rated NBA playoff first weekend in the past 25 years.

In the past year, fluctuations in TV ratings and ratings have been hot topics in the NBA. Although sometimes experiencing some troughs, the league's ratings continue to grow during the major annual games, and the audience's interest in the game is becoming increasingly strong.

This reminds us again that Curry remains one of the league's iconic faces.
