A Basketball game (NBA) is technically only 48 minutes. However, with half-time, timeouts, fouls, and close games, a basketball game is actually around 2 1/2 hours.
The game is divided into 4 quarters, each 12 minutes long. Should the score be tied at the end of the fourth quarter, the game will go into a 5 minute overtime period. Should the game be tied at the end of overtime, there will be a 5 minute second overtime, and so on.
College Basketball games are 40 minutes, with no quarters but instead two 20 minute halves. If the score is tied at the end of regulation, the game will proceed into a five minute bonus period called overtime, similar to the NBA.

∙ 13y agoA basketball game is usually 48 min. But it depends when the game started. I just added on what i think I don't really know to tell the truth. I was wondering the same thing, only my friend plays basketball and I wanted her to come over. But the thing is, I called her at like 10:00AM but she didn't pick up so I don't. My opinion would be to just say about 48 min.

∙ 13y agoits usually 40 minutes
but representative games usually go for 1hr and 20mins,
but the clock stops every time the whistle is blowed so it can go for as long as possible
