Exploring Nikola Jokic Career High Games<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Let&rsquo;s understand how long is overtime in NBA and what&rsquo;s the actual rule behind overtimes in the league. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long is overtime in NBA? <\/h2><p>If the score is tied at the end of the fourth period, the play starts in two and a half minutes without a change of baskets. All overtime periods are considered extensions of the second half. <\/p><p>An NBA game consists of four 12-minute quarters, and a five-minute overtime period can be added if there&rsquo;s a tie at the end of the fourth quarter. As per the NBA, both teams will still play five-on-five in the shortened period until the buzzer. Another five-minute overtime will begin if the score is tied again. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many overtimes in NBA?<\/h2><p>There is no limitation on overtime in the NBA. As we mentioned earlier, the process will continue until one team has a lead at the end of the extra period. The current record for most overtime periods in a single game is six. It was the longest game in NBA history which was played between the Indianapolis Olympians and Rochester Royals in 1951.<\/p><p>Overtime starts with a jump ball in the center circle and the timing device gets stopped during the last two minutes of overtime following a successful field goal attempt, according to NBA.com. There are two team timeouts for each team in the overtime period. <\/p><p><em>Image Credit: Isaiah J.
