It’s going to be a busy night of athletics to end March with three of the Valley’s four major sports teams in action on Friday.

Bally Sports Arizona had one of its best days in the network’s history on Wednesday.

Durant’s home debut with the Suns, a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, was the highest-rated Suns regular season game on the local channel since a Dec. 29, 2010 game vs. the Philadelphia 76ers. That was Vince Carter’s debut with Phoenix after the star sat out his first four games as a member of the Suns with a knee injury.

Durant’s home debut was the station’s highest-rated game since Sept. 6, 2017, when the D-backs beat the Dodgers, 3-1.

The game Wednesday received a 5.2 rating with a peak of 6.0 and reached an average of 110,929 households with a peak of 128,872 on the evening.
