Court size or camera angle?

Was just wondering after watching the game on telly on Saturday...

I'm originally from the US so I've watched a lot of basketball in my life. The court at the National Basketball Centre seemed, well, small to me. Not only did it seem smaller, the baskets seemed low as well.

Does anyone know if that court is the same size as a regulation NBA court? I was just curious; it could be just the different scale of the arena or the different style of camera angles that threw me.

BTW, I thought it was a great game with Ireland fielding a class team. Was thrilled when they won.

Both basket and court are regulation size, its coz the stadium is small that it makes the court look small.
