LeBron James & Cavs’ NBA Doubleheader Season Opener Soars Almost 100% Over 2016 – Update

UPDATE, 1:50 PM: The final scores on the court last night saw ex-champs the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Houston Rockets win the doubleheader games of the NBA season opener but now we have the other score, so to speak. Winning the night on cable for TNT, the Cavs' victory over the Boston Celtics and the Rockets triumph over current champs the Golden State Warriors snagged an average of 4.9 million viewers. Or to put in the true dunk context, that's a whooping 53% over the 3.2 million that the 2016 season doubleheader opener of October 25 last year delivered.
