Basketball teams are groups of players who compete against each other in the sport of basketball. Each team typically consists of five players on the court at a time, with additional players available for substitution. Teams can be organized at various levels, including professional leagues, college competitions, and recreational leagues. Teams are often identified by their unique names, colors, and logos. In professional leagues like the NBA (National Basketball Association), teams represent cities and have dedicated fan bases. The goal of each team is to score more points than the opposing team by shooting the basketball through the opponent's hoop.
