Boston's series-clinching victory over the Cavaliers in Game 6 of their semifinal series on Thursday night was the second-most watched basketball game ever aired on ESPN.

The broadcast drew a 6.6 rating on the cable network and averaged 6,552,000 households and 8,983,000 viewers.

Only Game 4 of last year's Western Conference finals between the Lakers and Nuggets did better on ESPN.
