Heat @ Celtics got 7.4 million views, topping MJ's bulls back in 1996. Most in TNT history....
that 2nd game between the LA somethings and the Houston Rockets got half of that at 3.7million.
---------------------------
The debut of big NBA star LeBron James with the Miami Heat took TNT to the best ratings ever for a regular-season game.
The opening game of the NBA season for TNT -- Miami Heat-Boston Celtics -- earned 7.4 million viewers, topping a record that stood for 14 years when the Chicago Bulls -- and Michael Jordan -- played the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996.
The game was also some 75% better than last year's opening night game.
The second part of TNT's big opening-night doubleheader featured the Houston Rockets-Los Angeles Lakers, which got to about half of the first game's results: 3.7 million viewers. The entire night gave TNT its best NBA opening night in almost 30 years of airing the league's games.
