Viewers Come Back For Celtics Comeback

Viewers may have deserted ABC's telecast of the NBA Finals early on in the game Thursday
night when it appeared that the Los Angeles Lakers would blow out the Boston Celtics
after taking a 24-point lead. But they returned to the telecast later as the Celtics
staged an amazing comeback to beat the Lakers in the fourth game of the series 97-91.
In the 9:00 p.m. hour a rerun of CBS's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation actually
drew more viewers than the NBA game as it drew a 6.5 rating and an 11 share vs. ABC'
s 6.1/10. However, in the 10:00 p.m. hour, the NBA game took over the lead with a
7.0/12, making it the night's most-watched program. Ratings were not reported for
the post-primetime period after 11:00 p.m.
