‘Game of Thrones’ finale ratings up; surpass ‘True Blood’

HBO’s Game of Thrones closed out its best season yet with nearly its biggest rating ever.

That’s up 28 percent compared to last season’s finale. Thrones was against some strong summer broadcast competition that included the NBA Finals and, to a lesser degree, the Tonys.
