The goal of the game of basketball is to score points by shooting the ball through the opposing team's hoop. Each successful shot made from inside the three-point line is worth two points, whereas shots made beyond this line are worth three points. Additionally, a team can score one point for each successful free throw following certain fouls. The primary objective is not only to accumulate the highest score by the end of the game but also to strategize and collaborate effectively to outmaneuver the opponent's defense.
