NEW YORK -- With the Los Angeles Lakers dominating the NBA Finals, overnight ratings plummeted by 26 percent for Sunday's key Game 3.

The Lakers' 106-103 victory for a 3-0 series lead over the New Jersey Nets drew a rating of 11.8 and a 19 share in the nation's 53 largest markets, down from a 16.0 rating and a 26 share for the third game a year ago.

The full national ratings will be out later this week.

The rating is the percentage of all homes with TVs, whether or not they are in use. Share is the percentage of homes with TVs in use.

Last year's finals between the Lakers and Philadelphia was tied at 1-1 going into Game 3.

The overnight rating for Saturday night's triple overtime win by Detroit over Carolina in the third game of the Stanley Cup finals was 3.8, compared with a 4.0 for the third game of the New Jersey-Colorado series last year.

However, that game was played on a Thursday night, which on average gets a 17 percent higher ratings that Saturday, the slowest television night of the week.

No figures were available on the number of pay-per-view purchases on the Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson fight Saturday night. HBO said it expected the total late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
