Game overview

Basketball Street is a one-minute free-throw contest with 25 balls and no time to overthink. You pick one of three players, settle into the line, and shoot as many as you can before the clock stops. Striped balls appear in the rack and pay double, so the smart run is deciding early whether to shoot everything at pace or slow down and cash the bonus balls cleanly.

This title is best suited to a one-minute basketball score attack.
