CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  It was ESPN’s turn to win the night with a NBA PLAYOFFS game, this one at 1.56.  The one-hour season finale of Tru’s IMPRACTICAL JOKERS jumped a tenth to 0.48, with another lead-out episode at 0.35.  History’s SWAMP PEOPLE fell 0.08 to 0.39.  The season finale of A&E’s 60 DAYS IN ticked up to 0.37.  The Comey mess continues to be good news for MSNBC, which had 2 shows in the Top 10, THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW at 0.37/2.9M, and LAST WORD WITH LAURENCE O’DONNELL at 0.35/2.7M, while the top-rated Fox News show was THE FIVE at 0.29/2.5M. On We, BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES rose 0.05 to 0.33, and it’s worth noting that its 13-minute lead-out, a GROWING UP HIP-HOP “first look” preview, outrated it at 0.34.  Spike’s LIP SYNC BATTLE gained 0.06 to 0.31.  On Lifetime, MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT dropped 0.03 to 0.31, and SECOND CHANCES ticked down to 0.16.  On HGTV, FLIP OR FLOP climbed 0.02 to 0.29, and HOUSE HUNTERS and HOUSE HUNTERS INTL were both at 0.28, respectively down 0.02 and 0.01.  On ID, FEAR THY NEIGHBOR fell 0.03 to 0.27, and EVIL STEPMOTHERS was at 0.26.  Food Network’s BEAT BOBBY FLAY dropped 0.03 to 0.27.  USA’s INSIDE THE FBI lost 0.04 to 0.18.  Comedy Central’s THE PRESIDENT SHOW climbed 0.03 to 0.16.  E!’s SECOND WIVES CLUB grew by 0.02 to 0.15.  On TNT, the 2-night AMERICAN RACE documentary debuted at 0.11/0.10 (the opening hour isn’t on the chart because it was technically a rerun, having aired after an NBA Playoffs game).  POP’s IMPACT WRESTLING was steady at 0.07.
