Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze basketball matches, identifying the effect of transitions from offense to defense and vice versa on the results of FIBA Africa Champions Cup for men (2016), regarding the first three places. The researcher followed the descriptive method to analyze these matches using Utilius® vs advanced version 4.5.8. The results showed that the very quick transition offense "one to three seconds" and normal transition offense "four to five seconds", had positive effect on the basketball matches results, helping players score points easily. Furthermore, the very quick transition defense "Zero second" and quick transition defense "one to three seconds" had positive effect on basketball matches results, helping the players  prevent their opponents from scoring points, and make easy blocks and rebounds. Subsequently, this study concludes that the very quick, quick and normal transitions have a great effect on the results of basketball matches.
