Forward (basketball)
In the sport of basketball, there are five players play per team, each assigned to positions.

The three main positions are guard, forward, and center, with the standard team featuring two guards, two forwards, and a center.

A field goal is worth two points, unless made from behind the three-point line, when it is worth three. After a foul, timed play stops and the player fouled or designated to shoot a technical foul is given one, two or three one-point free throws. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but if regulation play expires with the score tied, an additional period of play (overtime) is mandated.
