How to Watch Tonight's Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals for Free
The Oklahoma City Thunder will face the Minnesota Timberwolves again tonight, marking Game 5 of the NBA's Western Conference finals.
So far, the Oklahoma City Thunder has led the race to win four games -- but the Minnesota Timberwolves prevented them from securing a win in Game 4. If the Thunder wins tonight, it will end this year's Western Conference playoffs and secure them a spot in the NBA finals. But if the Timberwolves seal another win, we'll have to see what happens in Game 6.
Game 5 will tip-off tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET (5:30 p.m. PT) at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Here's how to watch for free.
How to watch Game 5 of the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves for free
Tonight's Western Conference playoff game will be available to watch on the NBA's YouTube livestream for free, but you'll need a virtual private network (VPN). That's because the game is geo-locked in India, but it can be bypassed with a VPN.
If you're deciding which VPN is best for tonight, you can try a paid VPN like ExpressVPN. It allows you to connect to a server in India and is CNET's top pick for best VPNs. ExpressVPN costs $13 a month, but you may be able to sign up for a free trial to watch tonight's game.
While there are free VPNs like Proton VPN, you typically can't choose your server location, so it's not ideal for region-locked sports games.
How to stream Game 5 with a VPN
Sign up for a VPN. We recommend Express VPN for streaming. Download the VPN to your mobile device or computer. Connect to a server in India. Go to the NBA's YouTube livestream to watch the game.

Former LeBron James Teammate Tells Wild Club Story About Lakers Star
Former LeBron James Teammate Tells Wild Club Story About Lakers Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James takes precise care of his body, which has helped him play 22 seasons in the NBA at an elite level. Advertisement James is 40 years old. He's the oldest active player in the NBA. The average person wouldn't know that by watching him play, as James made the All-NBA Second Team this year and became the oldest player in NBA history to receive an MVP vote, breaking Michael Jordan's 23-year-old record. A four-time MVP, James has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers (twice), Miami Heat and Lakers. He's a four-time champion and a four-time Finals MVP. James is the only player in NBA history to win a Finals MVP Award with three teams. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James© Soobum Im-Imagn Images A future Hall of Famer, James won his first two titles with the Heat in 2012 and 2013. Mario Chalmers, who was on those Miami teams, recently told NFL legend Shannon Sharpe that James used to get treatment in the clubs. Advertisement "I tell people this all the time, Bron will really get treatment if he was in the club. Like, he would literally have something on his knees or something on his back inside the club. So it's like why is somebody doing that, like that's a real dedication to just be in the club with treatment." Chalmers said. Sharpe went on asking what were the kind of treatments he is doing in the club. "Not ice bags, it'd be like the stim, like the stim machine that shoot electrolyte or electricity in your knees and stuff like that. He always have something [for] recovery." James has said many times that he takes recovery very seriously. The leading scorer in NBA history has never undergone surgery on his body because of an injury. The small forward is arguably the most durable athlete in NBA history. Advertisement Arguably the greatest player of all time, James has career averages of 27.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks. He's the only player in NBA history to rank top five all-time in points and assists. James, who turns 41 in December, has a player option to return to the Lakers next season worth $52.6 million. The King is widely expected to pick up his option and play his 23rd NBA season.

Australia's Glenn Maxwell calls time on ODIs
Explosive Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell called time on his one-day international career Monday, but will continue in Twenty20 cricket with his eye on next year's World Cup. The 36-year-old, who played 149 ODIs, blasting 3,990 runs, said he was starting to feel the physical toll of the 50-over game. Advertisement "I felt like I was letting the team down a little bit with how my body was reacting to the conditions," he said. "I had a good chat with (chair of selectors) George Bailey and I asked him what his thoughts were going forward. "We talked about the 2027 (50-over) World Cup and I said to him: 'I don't think I am going to make that, it's time to start planning for people in my position to have a crack at it and make the position their own'." Maxwell's strike rate of 126 is the second highest in ODI cricket, behind only West Indian heavy hitter Andre Russell, where he has crunched four hundreds and 23 half-centuries. He also took 77 wickets with his off-spin. Advertisement "Congratulations to Glenn on what has been one of the most exciting and influential one-day international careers in the format's history," said Cricket Australia chief Todd Greenberg. "Australian cricket is indebted to Glenn for his ODI exploits and excited that he will now focus on our quest to win the ICC T20 World Cup next year." mp/dh
