About Hardwood Duel, from BoardGameGeek:

Welcome to Hardwood Duel, the thrilling two-player basketball card game! From shooting three-pointers to grabbing rebounds to energizing the crowd, Hardwood Duel is everything that we love about basketball! Each player commands their own team, using a deck of cards that represent everything you'd see in a basketball game. You alternate slapping down cards to throw down huge dunks, hit deep threes, call out quick coaching adjustments, and even get the crowd screaming and yelling and cheering! As you play, you can use the applause generated by your eager fans to add advanced, game-changing cards to your deck. The goal? Score the most points to claim victory! The game takes moments to learn and only a few minutes to play. While the rules are simple, mastering Hardwood Duel is a challenge that will keep you coming back over and over and over! -description from the designer
