The original rules of Basketball, developed by James Naismith in 1891, stated that the game should be divided into two 15-minute halves, with 5 minutes rest in between.
This means that following the original rules, the game lasted 30 minutes (or 35 minutes including the break).
Modern day games are comprised of four 10-minute quarters (FIBA), or four 12-minute quarters (NBA). With 5-minute overtime periods.

Dr. James Naismith is known as the father of basketball. He first invented the game of basketball in 1891, made the original rules, fostered the beginnings of college basketball at the University of Kansas, and helped launch basketball into the Olympics.
Rules prevent cheating, which would ruin the game.
