On Tuesday, Game 1 of the NBA Finals between Oklahoma City and the hated Miami Heat was up nicely from last year to a strong 6.9 demo. NBC started with American Ninja Warrior which was preempted on Monday and it was below its usual Monday numbers. At 9pm, America's Got Talent took an understandable hit against the NBA as it was down 1.4 million viewers and half a demo point. At 10pm, Love in the Wild was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo from its season premiere last week. On FOX, Hell's Kitchen was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while MasterChef was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo.
