The NBA's nationally television ratings were down during the 14-15 season as several of their bigger market teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks struggled.

TNT averaged 1.67 million viewers for its complete slate of games, marking the net’s lowest figure since the 07-08 season. 

TNT’s games were down 12% from last season. 

ESPN saw game viewership decline 10% compared to 13-14, with the net’s average of 1.51 million viewers also marking a low point dating back to ’07-08. 

Local viewership, however, was up overall by four percent. The 14-15 season marked a tie for the second-best regional sports network average for teams on record. 

The NBA ended the regular season with around 39.9 million combined Facebook/Twitter users, up from 30.9 million at the end of the '13-14 season. That figure tops the NFL (22.7 million across Facebook/Twitter), MLB (10.4 million) and the NHL (7.0 million).
