The San Antonio Spurs’ victory in Game 3 of the NBA Finals drew the highest viewership for a third game of the championship series since 1998, according to figures released by the league and its broadcast partners.
The record-setting audience reflects the strongest interest in a Game 3 matchup in 28 years, underscoring the series’ broad appeal and the Spurs’ national following. Exact viewership numbers and ratings shares were not disclosed in the summary, but officials confirmed the broadcast surpassed every other NBA Finals Game 3 since Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls faced the Utah Jazz in 1998.
The broadcast delivered a significant boost across traditional television and streaming platforms, with both the league and network partners highlighting the game’s performance as evidence of sustained fan engagement throughout the Finals.
With the Spurs now holding a lead in the best-of-seven series, attention turns to Game 4, where the team will attempt to build on both its on-court momentum and its audience gains.
