Timberwolves coach Sam Mitchell is giving away 500 tickets to the WNBA championship Game 5 on Wednesday at Target Center.

The Indiana Fever beat the Lynx 75-69 on Sunday, forcing a decisive fifth game in the series. Wednesday's game marks the first time the WNBA Finals has been pushed to a fifth game since 2009.

The tickets will be available beginning at 8 a.m. to the first fans that log on to www.lynxbasketball.com; there's a limit of two per customer.

Wednesday's game starts at 7 p.m.

The Lynx are looking for their third league championship since 2011. They beat the Atlanta Dream that year and in 2013.

This year is a rematch of the 2012 finals, when the Lynx fell to Indiana in four games.
