From TVbytheNumbers:

The NBA Finals Game 7 had the best overnight household ratings since 1998, as the ratings were a lot prettier than the game itself.

The NBA Finals Game 7 primetime portion (9-11p) tallied an 8.5 adults 18-49 rating, that was up 107% from the primetime portion of Game 5 last season, and up 57% from the primetime portion of this year’s Game 6 on Tuesday.

In the shadow of the NBA Finals, the 9pm original So You Think You Can Dance falling 15% to a 2.2 adults 18-49 rating is no surprise.
