TV ratings for Game 2 of NBA finals down slightly

NEW YORK — Television ratings for Game 2 of the NBA finals are down slightly from last year.

ABC said Monday that the Los Angeles Lakers’ 101-96 overtime win over the Orlando Magic on Sunday night earned an 8.2 fast national rating. That’s down less than 4 percent from the 8.5 for last season’s Game 2 between the Lakers and Boston Celtics.

Ratings represent the percentage of all homes with televisions tuned into a program.
