CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  TNT had the Golden State vs. Lakers game in which Golden State set a new NBA record for victories to start the season, and it paid off for the network with a 1.14 rating, far ahead of the 0.47 for the night’s earlier Boston vs. Atlanta game.  On History, CURSE OF OAK ISLAND slipped 0.03 to 0.75, and HUNTING HITLER was down 0.02 to 0.48.  OWN’s IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG ticked down to 0.63.  Discovery’s MOONSHINERS gained 0.03 to 0.63.  BEING MARY JANE (BET) dropped 0.02 to 0.61.  On USA, CHRISLEY KNOWS BEST was steady at 0.60, and DONNY fell 0.02 to 0.20.  Bravo’s BELOW DECK took a hefty 0.21 drop to 0.54, yet PEOPLE’S COUCH was up 0.02 to 0.27.  On Comedy Central, TOSH.0 was up 0.05 to 0.49, and DRUNK HISTORY rose 0.02 to 0.34.  After last week’s somewhat inexplicable increase, ESPN’s telecast of the COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS RANKINGS for the week plunged back down by 0.84 to 0.44, which was 0.06 ahead of where it was 2 weeks ago.  A&E’s STORAGE WARS climbed 0.12 to 0.37.  E!’s BOTCHED fell 0.11 to 0.35.  A “5 Years Later” update special for PRETTY LITTLE LIARS on ABCFamily was at 0.34 (although it had a much more impressive 1.02 in its target F 12-34 demo), and a special YOUNG AND HUNGRY that followed was at 0.27 (0.62 in the demo).  Food Network’s CHOPPED JUNIOR fell 0.14 to 0.32, and CHOPPED was at 0.27.  MTV’s FINDING CARTER continued its slide, down 0.03 to 0.18.  MANHATTAN (WGNAmerica) lost 0.01 to a paltry 0.01, and was down 70K in total viewers to 180K.
