Also, treat it like they really are the playoffs. If you notice in the NBA, the playoffs are much more controlled and the pace slows down.

Teams that run and gun in the playoffs often have trouble adjusting to the decreased pace and increased defensive intensity.

I see a lot of kids online that just want to run up and down the court, score as fast as possible, and dunk on everyone. When you get the ball, TAKE YOUR TIME. It will slow the game down, throw off the other player, and even if you are giving up baskets this will allow you to keep it closer.

Ball movement and establish the post game early and often as someone else mentioned, a lot of "cheesers" have no idea how to work the post or defend in it when someone is good at it.

Use pick and roll and don't rush things on offense, if you see a lane close up then kick it back out to the perimeter and reset. I've found all of these strategies to really help and 9 times out of 10 the opponent doesn't know what to do.
