According to Nielsen Media Research, the Suns 111-103 win and Mike D’Antoni’s return generated a 6.8 rating/10 share on FOX Sports Arizona, which means that an average of 122,576 homes in the Phoenix market watched the game. It was the best rating of the season for the Suns on any television network, topping a 6.4 rating that their game against the Los Angeles Lakers received on Nov. 20.
Additionally, the Suns/Knicks rating topped the rating for Monday Night Football on ESPN. The Cleveland Browns/Philadelphia Eagles game recorded a 6.0 rating/9 share.
