Bulls-Heat Game 1 Most Viewed Basketball Game in Cable History

It appears I wasn’t the only person wildly anticipating the Bulls-Heat game 1 matchup last night. It wound up being the most viewed basketball game in cable history.

The Chicago Bulls were even more dominant on TV than they were on the court Sunday night against the Miami Heat in the opener of NBA Eastern Conference finals playoff series.

National numbers released Monday showed the Bulls’ ‘103-82 rout on TNT to be the most-viewed basketball game in cable history, with more than 11.109 million total viewers and a 6.2 overall household rating. The previous record was the 10.829 million viewers for the 2003 NBA All-Star Game, which was Michael Jordan’s final appearance in the mid-season exhibition.
