CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Spring cable (on non-GAME OF THRONES nights) continues to be dominated by the NBA PLAYOFFS, last night on TNT, which scored 2.23 for Golden State vs. Portland and 1.50 for Miami vs. Toronto.  That other great sports story of the year, the Presidential election, propelled CNN into 2 slots on the Top 10, topped by 0.76 for the 9PM hour.   (As usual, while CNN won the younger demo race, the older crowd at Fox News gave that network the nod in total viewers.) Discovery’s DEADLIEST CATCH gained 0.03 to 0.73, and THE LAST ALASKANS was steady at 0.36. On Spike, INK MASTER climbed 0.06 to 0.68, and the REDEMPTION after-show was up 0.02 to 0.38. OWN’s IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG rose 0.07 to 0.63.  Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS dropped a tenth to 0.57, and BELOW DECK returned at 0.35.  Lifetime’s DANCE MOMS edged up 0.02 to 0.48.  On MTV, AWKWARD picked up a tenth to 0.39, and FAKING IT gained 0.09 to 0.26. History’s TOP GEAR shed 0.05 to 0.38, and CAR HUNTERS was at 0.25/0.23.  An NHL PLAYOFFS game on NBC Sports Net was at 0.38, and another on USA was at 0.18.  HGTV’s GOOD BONES grew by 0.07 to 0.38.  TLC’s JILL & JESSA dipped 0.03 to 0.37.  On Food Network, CHOPPED ticked down to 0.36, and CHOPPED JR dropped 0.04 to 0.32.  A&E’s STORAGE WARS was at 0.31/0.31, compared to last week’s 0.32/0.30. On TBS, AMERICA’S GREATEST MAKERS ticked down to 0.26, and SEPARATION ANXIETY lost 0.04 to 0.20.  AMC’s THE NIGHT MANAGER gained 0.04 to 0.19.  BET’s CHASING DESTINY fell 0.04 to 0.18. Freeform’s STITCHERS held at 0.13.  POP’s IMPACT WRESTLING lost 0.03 to 0.09.
