How much does a basketball game last?

Question

Let´s assume it starts at 3.30...any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

It always depends.

4 quarters of 12 minutes each, count 48minutes

2 5 minute break (between 1st-2nd qrt and 3rd-4th qrt), add 10

Count 10 to 15 minutes for half-time

Then come the time outs. Coach have numbers of full and 20 sec time out... It can take some time

Then you have the fouls, free throws, and that kind of stuff... Depending on how aggressive the teams are, it will take time

Finally, you have the tie situation that results in overtime.

Usually, on tv, when you look on info, it says 2 hours. So, if the game starts at 3:30, it will usually end around 5:30

I suggest you go on the team's page (if possible) and look at their last few games information, it usually indicates the duration of the game.

NBA slightly longer.

High School, somewhat shorter.

Answer 4
