Depends on what basketball it is.
An NBA basketball game consists of four 12 minute periods.
An NCAA men’s basketball game has two periods that last 20 minutes each.
A FIBA basket and women’s NCAA basketball game has four 10 minute periods.
A high school basketball game could be four 8 minute periods.
In four-period games, there are short breaks between the first and second period and between the third and fourth period, then a longer break between the second and third period called the halftime break. In NCAA men’s basketball, they only get a halftime break.
