In Professional Basketball a game lasts for 48 minutes which is broken up into four quarters. 48 divided by 4 = 12, therefore each quarter lasts 12 minutes. Whichever team has the most points at the end of the game is the winner

Furthermore, the introduction of the three-point field goal after the NBA and ABA merger started a revolution in basketball strategy.
