In the NBA, there is no significant difference between first half and second half scores.
For the 2009-10 season thus far, I took the 25 games with the highest winning score, 25 with the lowest winning score, and 25 closest to the average winning score and extracted the quarter-by-quarter values for both teams. The result was 150 scores by quarter, 75 from the winning team and 75 from the losing team.
For the first half, the teams averaged 50.15 points with a standard deviation of 10.63 points. For the second half, the teams averaged 49.87 points with a standard deviation of 10.77 points. The resultant p-value is 81.67%, meaning that at the 1% level of significance (will be right 99% of the time), the first half and second half scores are practically equal.
This test was for the NBA 2009-10 season only, so it may vary in different years or leagues.

Betting if the score is going to be over a set number of points, or under that set of points. Example: Gamblers may set the New England/Indianapolis game at 45 points.
