Over the weekend, ratings and viewership for the NBA Playoffs declined by double-digits for seven of the eight games. The exception was Saturday's Game 1 between the Warriors and Clippers, which had a 3.0 overnight rating, up seven percent in ratings from last season's ABC opener between the Warriors and Spurs.

TNT’s Pacers-Celtics Game 1 had a 1.2 and 1.81 million, which was down 40% in ratings and 44% in viewership from last year (Bucks-Celtics: 2.0, 3.20M). The game was the least-watched opening weekend playoff game since Wizards-Raptors in 2015.

The Pacers-Celtics game competed directly against The Masters.
