How to watch the third Thunder-Timberwolves playoff game free
You can watch game three on the NBA’s YouTube livestream. The livestream is region-locked to India but you can access it free with a VPN.
There are plenty of free and paid VPNs to choose from. However, free VPNs often don’t allow you to pick server locations so we don’t recommend them for watching region-locked sports games. CNET recommends tuning in with ExpressVPN. It offers fast speeds, is available on a range of devices and costs $13 a month.
ExpressVPN (and other services) also offer a free trial that can allow you to watch this game without paying a penny — but you will need to pay if you want to use it to watch additional games.
