You can watch the Lakers vs. Timberwolves NBA playoff games on the following platforms:
- In the US, the games air on TNT, truTV, and Max. For example, Game 5 on April 30, 2025, started at 9 PM CT and was broadcast on these channels
- If you don't have cable, streaming services like Sling TV offer access to TNT and other sports channels. Sling Orange plan with the Sports Extra add-on is recommended for full NBA Playoffs coverage, costing around $46/month plus $11 for Sports Extra
- NBA League Pass is another option for watching NBA games live and on-demand, including out-of-market games during the regular season. However, NBA League Pass does not include live NBA Playoffs games as they are nationally televised
- For free streaming, some international viewers can watch games on platforms like Ran.de (available in Germany), but a VPN is needed to access it from outside Germany
In summary, for live Lakers vs. Timberwolves playoff games in the US, TNT and streaming services that carry TNT (like Sling TV) are your best options. NBA League Pass is great for regular season games but not for live playoff broadcasts
