CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  TNT held the night’s reins with its pair of NBA PLAYOFFS games, Golden State vs. Portland at 2.56 and Toronto vs. Miami at 1.63.  USA’s WWE telecast was at 1.19/1.14/1.06, compared to last week’s 1.24/1.23/1.21.  Presumably because an episode aired on Sunday, there was no new LOVE & HIP-HOP on VH1, but BLACK INK CREW was down just 0.08 without its lead-in to 1.15.  On Discovery, STREET OUTLAWS slipped 0.02 to 0.84, and FAT N FURIOUS was up 0.06 to 0.54. On TBS, AMERICAN DAD gained 0.03 to 0.51, THE DETOUR was up 0.02 to 0.42, and FULL FRONTAL came back from a week off at 0.26.  On A&E, BATES MOTEL dropped 0.07 to 0.49, and the season finale of DAMIEN fell 0.03 to 0.14.  Both episodes of HGTV’s TINY HOUSE BIG LIVING were at 0.42, up from last week’s 0.31/0.26, and HOUSE HUNTERS was up 0.09 to 0.42, with HOUSE HUNTERS INTL at 0.36.  On Bravo, SOUTHERN CHARM slid 0.03 to 0.38, and REAL HOUSEWIVES OF DALLAS was also down 0.03 to 0.31.  History’s IRON & FIRE was at 0.33/0.29, exactly on par with last week.  On Food Network, CAKE MASTERS fell 0.05 to 0.20, and CUPCAKE WARS lost 0.03 to 0.20.  AMC’s TURN ticked up to 0.14.  On Syfy, 12 MONKEYS gained a tick to 0.12, and HUNTERS was up 0.02 to 0.09. Freeform’s MONICA THE MEDIUM gained 0.02 to 0.12.  HBO’s AFTER THE THRONES had a 0.03 boost to 0.09.
