The 2016 NBA Finals is the second-most watched ever on ABC through four games, according to Fast Nationals from Nielsen. The series is averaging 17,367,000 viewers (p2+).

The 2016 NBA Finals continue tonight in Oakland, Calif., with Game 5 at 9 p.m. ET (coverage starting at 8:30 p.m.) on ABC (also available on ESPN Deportes, ESPN Radio and WatchESPN). The host Golden State Warriors, leading the best-of-seven series 3-1, are one victory away from defending their NBA championship. With a victory, the Cleveland Cavaliers could force a Game 6 back on their home court Thursday.
