Elam Ending
The Elam Ending, also known as final target score or winning score, is a rules format for basketball. Unlike traditional basketball rules, in which the game is played with four timed quarters, teams end the game by playing to a target score. The game is played in its traditional format up until a certain point. Then, the clock is turned off and the teams play to a target score, which is the leading team's score plus a predetermined number of points. A variation used by the NBA G League implements the Elam Ending in games that go into overtime.
