The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals on Wednesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers earned a thrilling victory in Game 4 of this series on Monday, which has put them in position to knock the defending NBA champs out of the playoffs and advance to the Western Conference finals.
