Okay, so the other day, I was watching an NBA game with my buddy, and we got into this debate about how many quarters there are. I don’t know why, but it totally stumped us for a minute! We were like, “Wait, is it four? Or is it more like soccer with halves?” It was kinda embarrassing, haha.
So, I grabbed my phone and did a quick search. You know, just to settle the argument and, more importantly, prove I was right (which I totally was, by the way!).
Figuring It Out
I typed in something super simple like, “how many quarters in NBA game”. Boom! The answer popped right up.
- Turns out, there are four quarters in an NBA game.
- Each quarter is 12 minutes long.
I victoriously showed my buddy my search page, and he had to concede defeat. He was a great sport about it, though. We just laughed and continued enjoying the match with our newfound knowledge.
It’s such a simple and common question, that I found a bunch of sport websites with that information! I felt like a real sports expert, even if it was just for a moment. After that I did some more research, and it turns out every quarter is 12 minutes each! I’m so glad to know, and I won’t be caught lacking again. I’ll be ready to inform everyone during the next match, for sure.
