It may be the end of the Western Conference Finals, time for the Clippers-Suns live stream, bringing Phoenix to its first NBA Finals since the days of Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson. And Los Angeles? Well, they just want to live to play another game (they need to win 3 in a row) by taking in tonight's NBA playoff live stream.

Both the Clippers and Suns head into Game 5 looking to improve on their abysmal offensive output in Los Angeles. As Suns head coach Monty Williams put it, Game 4 was not "Offense 101," but a slugfest. The Clippers and Suns struggled from the floor. Devin Booker and Chris Paul combined to shoot 14-for-44 for Phoenix, while Reggie Jackson and Paul George combined to shoot 13-for-44 for Los Angeles.

These numbers are clearly not ideal. The Suns were saved in part by Deandre Ayton, who had 19 points and a playoff career-high 22 rebounds.

Phoenix led by 14 at halftime and looked like an easy win, but the Clippers battled back; L.A. led the Suns by 11 in the third quarter, and the Clippers were able to pull away from the Suns with a 14-point lead at the break. L.A. outscored the Suns by 11 points in the third quarter. The Suns made 85% of their free throws compared to 65% for the Clippers, and Paul George was in big trouble for the second time in this series.

With 6 seconds left in the game, George went to the free throw line with a chance to bring the Clippers within one point. He missed the first one and was forced to miss the second one on purpose. That chance never came. George finished with a team-high 23 points.

Phoenix enters Round 5 as a 5.5-point favorite. The over/under is 214.5. Clippers fans may be hoping for a heroic return by Kawhi Leonard, but according to Yahoo Sports, the two-time Finals MVP is not expected to travel with the Clippers to Phoenix Therefore, it is highly unlikely that he will do so.

If you have to leave your "bubble" or suffer the dreaded local blackout and cannot watch the Clippers-Suns live stream on cable, you are not out of luck. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can pretend you're surfing the web from your hometown (or anywhere else not hit by a blackout) and access the same streaming services you've already paid for.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We tested a variety of services and chose ExpressVPN as the best VPN overall. They offer great speed and excellent customer service. However, there are other VPN options out there. Here are our top picks.

In the US, Clippers-Suns will air on ESPN today, Monday, June 28, at 9 pm ET.

If you haven't already cut the cord and have a cable package, you can get this game on YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and FuboTV. But if you're trying to pick a new service for the NBA playoffs, don't go with Fubo.

ESPN and TNT are both included in the $35 Sling Orange package. Sling Orange has TNT, ESPN, and ESPN3, and the Sports Extras package has NBA TV, making Sling the best place to watch all of the NBA playoffs.

We recommend Sling as one of the best streaming services; ABC's playoff games are simulcast on ESPN3.
