Gameplay Hints

Lockdown Defense

Make sure you’re all about that tight defense on the outside kinda like how Kawhi plays. Get all up in the shooter’s face, guess where they’re gonna go, and mess up their rhythm. Your job is to close in on those playmakers, not giving them an inch.

Clutch Scoring

Get your mid-range shots and slam dunks into high gear when the pressure’s on. Take those reliable jumps from the mid-range to nail the big points. Hit the hoop hard, and show no fear when you throw down those dunks to send a message.
