The plot is a predictable slide toward the big game.

Gun violence, language in solid '90s basketball drama.

Films with principally African-American casts shouldn't have to mean hats cocked sideways, baggy jeans around the knees, slithery drug dealers and voiceless women. Not even in service of a fast break. Or buck.

It ain't got game.
