This post made me register and reply because this truly happens every game.

Your first step is from the tip you must go all out and gain as big a lead as possible, because the CPU will come back around the end of the first beginning of the second once they pick their offense up and start going to their star players

When the CPU makes a run u must remain calm and play your game. Do not let them rush you into bad shots and turnovers because your 15+ lead can turn into a 15 point deficit in minutes.

In the third KEEP THE OTHER TEAM OFF THE OFFENSIVE GLASS. This is probably the most important thin u can do. ESP since big men have unrealistic leaping ability and finishing ability under the basket.

LIMIT YOUR TURNOVERS is the second most important because when the CPU is on the break they will score 75 percent of the time.

Also don't underestimate the other team at any point of the game. I play on all star default and I was playing against the lakers with my bulls. I got off to a 11-0 lead and I let off the gas because I felt the game was getting easy and considered upping the difficulty level because Kobe wasn't playing like Kobe. Before I knew it I was down by 18 and Kobe had hung 30 on me.
