How many quarters are there in a basketball game?

Ive never been to a basketball game or a football game. I heard the football game has 2 halves. Why do they call it quarters in a basketball game but not half dollars in a football game?



I did go to a baseball game before. That has 9 innings unless they go into overtime. I guess its "innings" becuase there are no innings in a dollar? Why do they call it "innings" for baseball? Do you know where the name innings came from?How many quarters are there in a basketball game?In a basketball game, there are four, that's why they are called 'quarters.'



An inning, or innings, is a fixed-length segment of a game in any of a variety of sports 鈥?most notably cricket and baseball during which one team attempts to score while the other team attempts to prevent the first from scoring. In cricket, the term innings is both singular and plural and is always spelled and pronounced with the terminal "s". In baseball and softball, the singular form is inning and only the plural takes an "s".



In many other sports, the length of the game is dictated by a clock and teams swap offensive and defensive roles dynamically by taking possession of a ball or similar item. In baseball and cricket, however, one team, said to be "batting", attempts to score "runs" while the other team, said to be "fielding", attempts to prevent the scoring of runs and get members of the batting team out. The teams switch places after the fielding team has succeeded in getting a fixed number of players out, making a clock unnecessary.How many quarters are there in a basketball game?
