With mostly reruns as their only competition, sports dominated the weekend, with
the first two games of the NBA championship series between the Los Angeles Lakers
and the Boston Celtics winning Thursday and Sunday nights . The Belmont Stakes drew
slightly bigger ratings on Saturday, as viewers tuned in to see whether Big Brown would be
the first winner of the Triple Crown in 30 years. (In an upset of historic proportions,
Da'Tara, a 38-1 longshot, won.)
