NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA had a record-setting season in the stands and on the screens.
The league said Thursday it broke its attendance mark for the second straight season, drawing nearly 22 million fans in 2015-16.
The average attendance of 17,864 also was a record, including the 723 sellouts and 94 percent average arena capacity.
NBA TV had its most viewers this season as part of a year of growth for NBA Digital.
The network averaged 345,000 total viewers during the regular season, a 19 percent increase over 2014-15. It drew a record number of viewers for its April 10 tripleheader, highlighted by Golden State's victory over San Antonio in the nightcap.
