LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida: The first exhibition games of the NBA restart will go a little more quickly than usual. The NBA is tweaking the rules for those initial matchups, going with 10-minute quarters instead of the usual 12 minutes. The change will apply only to the first exhibition for teams; their second and third exhibition games at Disney will use standard timing. Plans call for all 33 exhibitions to be televised by some combination of local TV, national TV, NBA TV or NBA League Pass. Other changes for the exhibition games may include using more than three referees in a rotating system, though that also remains under discussion.
