  Jump ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A jump ball is a method used to begin or resume play in basketball.
In the NBA, a jump ball occurs at the start of the game (called the opening tip), the start of each period and extra period, to settle special situations where penalties cancel out and neither team is previously entitled to the ball, to settle any held balls.
Whenever such a jump ball situation occurs, the team whose opponents' basket that the possession arrow is currently pointing to gets the ball.
