I am assuming 25.2 was the peak right?

Game 7 of the NBA finals peaked at 25.9

What does 25.2 mean? Also, how is it calculated? People aren't watching it from beginning to end..is it the number people watching at a specific time or something.

Basically 25.2% of all TVs were tuned into the game. The "share" is usually the percentage of TVs in use that are tuned in.

ETA:

The most commonly cited Nielsen results are reported in two measurements: ratings points and share, usually reported as: "ratings points/share". As of 2013, there were an estimated 115.6 million television households in the United States, up 1.2% from the previous year because of the inclusion of televisions that receive content over the Internet. A single national ratings point represents 1% of the total number, or 1,156,000 households for the 2013–14 season.[3] Nielsen re-estimates the number of television-equipped households each August for the upcoming television season.

Share is the percentage of television sets in use that are tuned to the program. For example, Nielsen may report a show as receiving a 9.2/15 during its broadcast; this would mean that out of all television-equipped households, 9.2% were tuned in to that program, and out of all television-equipped households with a television currently in use, 15% were tuned in to that program.

According to Fox it had an overnight rating of 25.2, not peak. Game 7 of the Finals had an 18.9 overnight rating.

That has less to do with baseball being popular and more to do with it being Chicago and one of the biggest TV markets in the country finally being good for the first time in 100 years.

Yeah there were obviously many things this series had going for it. Then again, it could have been better. Cubs vs Red Sox would have been outrageous.
