Play Court Clash online
Court Clash is a 1v1 streetball duel on a dusk-lit blacktop: you against Juno, 90 seconds, winner takes the court.
Offense is about timing and spacing — blow by your defender for high-percentage layups, or pull up from deep for threes. Set feet shoot better than moving ones, and a defender in your face drags every percentage down.
Defense wins games: ride Juno's hip, swipe with a well-timed steal, or rise up to send a shot into the stands. After any scramble, streetball rules apply — take it back past the arc before you can score.
A 12-second shot clock keeps every possession honest. Outscore Juno when the buzzer sounds; your best winning margin is saved locally.

How to play
- 1
You are Pip (orange). Beat Juno (purple) 1v1 in 90 seconds — higher score wins, ties go to you.
- 2
Drive with A/D, shoot with Space. Layups are high percentage, mid-range is a coin flip, threes from deep are worth 3.
- 3
On defense, stay between Juno and the hoop, press E to swipe at the ball, and jump to contest shots.
- 4
After a steal or loose-ball scramble you must take it back past the 3pt arc before you can score.
- 5
12-second shot clock per possession — holding the ball too long is a turnover. Best margin is saved locally.
Tips for a better run
Layups (close to the hoop) go in about 8 times out of 10 — drive first, settle for jumpers second.
You are slightly faster than Juno: drive past him on the dribble rather than shooting over him.
Steals succeed less than half the time and a whiff leaves you staggered — only swipe when you are right on the ball handler.
After a steal near the hoop, sprint back past the arc line first; shots before the take-back do not count.
Watch the shot clock: under 4 seconds it turns red — get a shot up or it is a turnover.
Frequently asked questions
Is Court Clash related to Basketball Stars or any other basketball game?
No. Only the 1v1 streetball format is shared — a general sports format. Court Clash is an original implementation: Pip and Juno are original characters, the take-back/shot-clock rule set, AI behavior, and all art and code are original. It contains no third-party IP.
How do shooting percentages work?
Layups are ~82%, mid-range ~55%, threes ~38%. Standing still adds a little, shooting on the move or with a defender within reach takes some away. An airborne defender close by can block the shot outright about 3 times in 10.
What does TAKE IT BACK mean?
Streetball rule: after a steal or loose-ball scramble, the new offense must dribble past the 3pt arc line before shooting. You cannot attempt a shot until you clear it.
How do I win?
Have more points than Juno when the 90-second clock hits zero — ties go to you. Your best winning margin is saved locally in your browser.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. On touch devices, on-screen buttons appear: left/right to move, JUMP, SHOOT, and STEAL.
