"The Game 1 numbers cannot simply be hand-waved away by invoking Canada. It is simply a fact that the Game 1 overnights were the lowest in the U.S. since 2009, and while the Raptors’ presence provides a major caveat, it does not change that fact."

The canadian viewership is a total of english and french viewers.
"The first Finals contest held north of the U.S. border — marked the most-watched NBA game ever in Canada, drawing an average of 3.5 million viewers to Sportsnet and RDS."
