The Golden State Warriors knotted up the NBA Finals Thursday with a blowout 21-point win over the hometown Cleveland Cavaliers. The margin of victory between ABC and its competition was even more dramatic.

That said, due to the nature of live sports, the below fast national ratings for ABC are approximate.

For The CW, its soft “Beauty and the Beast” season premiere was quite low, but also consistent with the series’ prior season-opening episodes.

ABC was first in ratings with a 5.3 rating/18 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 14 million, according to preliminary numbers. “Jimmy Kimmel Live Game Night” at 8 p.m. received a 2.9/12 — up 53 percent from last year’s comparable evening — and 8.9 million viewers. “NBA Countdown” at 8:30 earned a 3.6/13 — up 50 percent from 2014 — and 10 million viewers. Game 4 itself at 9 scored a 6.3/21 — up 21 percent — and 16.3 million viewers.
