How offense and defense work
Summary
The team with the ball tries to move it toward the opponent's basket through passes and dribbling, then shoot for points. The team without the ball tries to block shots, steal the ball, and win rebounds when a shot misses. The team with more points when time expires wins.
- Offense drive the ball toward the opposing basket using passes and movement.
- Shooting get close to the basket before shooting to improve your chances.
- Defense position yourself in the shooter's path early rather than reacting after they release.
- Rebounding sprint to the basket whenever a shot goes up so you can grab a miss.
- Winning the team with the higher score when the clock hits zero takes the match.

Common questions
FAQWhy is my code showing as invalid?
Either the code has expired or there is a typo in what you entered. Copy the code directly from a source and paste it into the game to rule out any spelling mistakes. If it still fails, the code is no longer active.
