In the paragraph box, write the main idea of the paragraph below. To win a basketball game, remember this: the best offense is a good defense. Make use of three strategies that have
earned victories for many a team. First, stay in the defensive mode on the transitions. This is the easiest way to force a
turn-over. It is also the best way to hang onto the ball when you've got it. Second, attack the boards. Games are decided
by rebounds. Third, pressure your opponent. Running a full-court or half-court press will tire out your opponents, give
them trouble in-bounding the ball, and force them to make mistakes which will work in your favor. Using this strategy will
help you win more games.
