Game 3 of Cavs-Warriors draws best Finals rating since ABC move

NEW YORK -- The NBA Finals' Game 3 has drawn its highest television rating since the series moved to ABC in 2003.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night averaged an 11.1 rating.

ESPN said Wednesday that the nearly 18.8 million viewers were up 29 percent from the almost 14.6 million for last year's Game 3 between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat.

Ratings represent the percentage of U.S. homes with televisions tuned to a program.
