I’m trying to learn about NBA, and basketball in general, so I can enjoy watching it with my partner. What is halftime, and how long is it?

National Basketball Association (NBA) halftime breaks are 15 minutes long. Halftime breaks are meant to be used by the teams to rest and make adjustments in their play. The coaches will strategize with the team about what went well and what didn’t in the first half, and give some advice or instructions on how they can play better for the second half.
It’s also not healthy and safe for players and referees to be running around without breaks for the whole 48 minutes of the game.
P.S. It’s sweet that you’re trying to learn about basketball so you can enjoy it with your partner 🙂
