That didn’t last long.
Game 6 of the Hawks-Pacers Eastern Conference playoff series Thursday night became the highest-rated Hawks game ever on the Fox Sports South and SportSouth networks. The game drew a 4.84 rating.
It bested the 4.50 rating from Monday’s Game 5.
Before setting the ratings mark twice in four days, the previous high was the regular-season game against the Celtics on Jan. 29, 2010 which finished with a 4.47 rating on SportSouth.
The Hawks have appeared on the regional networks since the 1996-97 season.
