NBA Basketball dominated the week as the first round of the playoffs kicked off over the weekend. Five spots were taken by either ESPN or TNT playoff coverage. An additional three spots were grabbed by early week regular season games of NBA studio shows. As the playoff heat up and teams are eliminated, expect the ratings to rise.
The only other programming in the top 12 were WWE Matches on Monday and Friday nights. RAW captured spots three through five, while SMACKDOWN scored the #9 spot.
