Score NBA today: who won?

For games still in progress, go to our NBA live score page. For a full guide to reading box scores, see NBA scores today.
Where to check today’s final scores
| Source | Best for | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| NBA.com / official NBA app (game centre) | The official final score and box score | Look for the word “Final” before trusting a number |
| ESPN (often searched as “nba score eapn”) | Scoreboard, recaps and highlights | Check the game date shown in US time |
| Flashscore and similar livescore sites (searched as “flashscore basketball NBA”) | Quick lists of many games | Third-party data; confirm close or disputed results on NBA.com |
Odds PH is not affiliated with these sites. When two sources disagree, the official NBA game centre wins. Whatever you type, “NBA scoreboard today” or “score today NBA”, the official scoreboard is the one to trust.
The date trap: today in Manila vs today in the US
Philippine time is UTC+8. US Eastern time is UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 during daylight saving time. So an NBA scoreboard “today” in the US is mostly your morning today in Pinas:
- 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off (November to mid-March) = 8:30 a.m. PHT the next day.
- 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off (mid-March onwards) = 7:30 a.m. PHT the next day.
- A late West Coast game can still be running past lunch in Manila.
If a site shows yesterday’s date for a game that ended an hour ago, it’s using US time, not an error.
Reading a final scoreboard
An NBA game has four 12-minute quarters. If the score is tied after four, they play five-minute overtime periods until there’s a winner. A final scoreboard usually shows:
| You see | It means |
|---|---|
| Final | The game is over and the score is official |
| Final/OT | Won in one overtime period |
| Final/2OT, 3OT | Two or three overtimes were needed |
| Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 | Points scored in each quarter |
The quarter line tells the story the final score hides. A 112-108 game can be a comeback from 20 down or a lead that almost slipped away, kaya basahin ang quarter-by-quarter bago mag-conclude.
NBA winner today: what the result changes
A final score is one game. To see what it means, check the NBA standings next: a win in a tight race for a Play-In spot (7th to 10th) matters more than the same win in November. During the playoffs, read the series score too. A win can make a series 3-1, but the series isn’t over until a team reaches four wins. Want the next game? Open the NBA schedule.
NBA Summer League score
In July you’ll also see NBA Summer League scores. Summer League is a short off-season event for rookies, young players and players trying to win a roster spot, held mainly in Las Vegas. Its results and stats don’t count toward the NBA regular season or a player’s NBA career numbers, so read them as a separate competition.
