In the NBA, I believe that the visiting team gets to pick which basket they want to shoot at in the first half. So in some games the teams may shoot at the basket in front of their bench at the end of the game; and in other games, the teams might be shooting at the basket away from their bench at the end of the game.
I think. Drake or Eli can tell you for sure. Either way, lay off the NyQuil.
