WatchESPN, the company’s streaming platform, set more records during Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday. ESPN reported today that Cleveland’s 96-91 win over Golden State generated 736,200 unique viewers on WatchESPN, up 113 percent from last year. The game also churned out an average minute audience of 207,300, which was up 118 percent from last year’s Game 3.

Both are records for an NBA game on WatchESPN.

ESPN set similar streaming records when it aired last year’s World Cup online.
