Solution
- The time is divided in a basketball game depending on the competition.
- In international basketball governed by FIBA, the game is split into four quarters, each lasting 10 minutes.
- In the NBA, the game is also divided into four quarters, but each quarter lasts 12 minutes.
- For college basketball, such as the NCAA, the game is divided into two halves, each lasting 20 minutes.
- In all formats, there is a halftime break after the second quarter or first half, and if the game ends in a tie, 5-minute overtime periods are played until a winner is determined.
