At 8 PM, Dancing with the Stars on ABC waltzed to a 1.38 rating in the 18-49 demographic, capturing a 6.63 share. NBC's NBA game between the Rockets and Thunder wasn't far behind with a 1.31 rating and a 4.87 share. CBS's NCIS held steady with a 0.30 rating, while Fox's Murder in a Small Town and CW's WWE NXT trailed with 0.15 and 0.07 ratings, respectively.
