Hoop Duel
One-on-one, full court, two minutes on the clock. Highest score at the buzzer wins, and a tie goes to overtime, where the next basket wins.
Hold Shoot to rise up and let go at the top of your jump. A meter next to your player shows the timing, and close to the rim it turns into an automatic layup. Shots from beyond the arc count for three. On defence, press Shoot near the ball handler to try a steal, or Jump to contest and block. There's a 12-second shot clock, so keep moving.
Play against the bot on Easy, Medium or Hard. Harder bots react faster, move quicker, time their shots better and steal and block more. Or play with a friend on the same device, with the keyboard or with buttons on each side of a touchscreen.
Pick your team: BB Bulldogs, Pink Flamingos, Teal Sharks or Gold Hornets. Games last 1, 2 or 3 minutes.
