Three-on-three is a popular format in basketball where two teams, each consisting of three players, compete against each other. The game is typically played on a half-court, which makes it faster-paced and emphasizes individual skills and teamwork. In three-on-three, teams score points by shooting the ball through the hoop, with different point values assigned to shots made from various distances. The game can be played to a set score, often 21 points, or within a time limit, making it an exciting and dynamic version of traditional basketball.
