The shot clock in basketball is a timer that limits how long a team can hold the ball before attempting a shot. In most professional games, the shot clock is set to 24 seconds. If the team does not try to score by that time, the ball is given to the other team. The shot clock helps keep the game fast-paced and exciting, preventing teams from holding the ball too long without attempting to score. Players must make quick decisions and take shots within the time limit to avoid turning the ball over.
