A basketball team is a group of players who work together to compete in games and tournaments involving the sport of basketball. The team consists of five players on the court at any given time, with additional players serving as substitutes or reserves. Basketball teams typically consist of 12-15 players, including both starters and bench players. These teams are often associated with schools, colleges, universities, professional leagues, or community organizations. The objective of the game is for a team to score more points than their opponent by shooting the ball through the opposing team's hoop. Basketball requires coordination, communication, and skill among its players in order to be successful on the court.
