2.5 hours
It is usually two and half hours unless it goes into overtime or double or maybe triple overtime then it will be longer than that. Since it's a Lakers game they will probably win and it will only because two and half hours.
Usually two hours without overtime or brawls from hard fouls.
bout 3 hrs
The average NBA game is about three hours. Despite the fact that there are four quarters in every NBA game that lasts for 12 minutes each, you also have to keep in mind of the time outs, halftime and whether or not the game will go into overtime. So, it should be about three hours.
too long. basketball sucks

worst sport ever!
the game is scheduled to be played for 48 minutes, however due to frequent timeouts, fouls, and an unnecessary halftime the game lasts about 2.5 hours
2.5 hrs
I was at a Jazz game last night and it lasted 3 hours due to a 5 minute overtime. The game should last between 2 1/2 to 3 hours long. Have a great time!
Too long!
About 2 to 2 1/2 hours normally. Have fun!
The games have 4 quarters in it that last 12:00 mins. that total up to 48 mins game time

then you add in the halftime show that's about 15-20 Mins

plus all the timeouts that come in the game that are usually 20 secs. or a full min. so in all it'll be probably about 2HR-3HRs
last game i went to went into triple overtime and lasted 3 and a half hours. my team won !!!!!!!
usually lakers game are 7:30-10:30
between 2 1/2 or 3 hours for a regular game but if it's over time it's longer i go to basketball games all of the time so it is good to see another young women going to games .
