Spotted Ratings, Thursday 6/9/11: LeBratings

WHAT MATTERS:

• Final results to come later, but Game 5 of the NBA Finals (6.3 prelim) scored the series' highest preliminary number yet, meaning this game should ultimately score noticeably higher than the previous four. Can't find anyone who's rooting for the Heat? I recommend the ABC/ESPN execs, who will be hoping Game 6 goes Miami's way so there's what will certainly be a huge game 7 on Tuesday.

• On the downswing were So You Think You Can Dance (2.4), hitting easily its lowest number this season to date and remaining a little down year-to-year, and burn-off Love Bites (0.9), down one tick from last week's premiere.

Above based on preliminary adults 18-49 ratings unless otherwise noted.
