The episode begins with the gang discussing their plans for the games.

Despite some initial doubts and a lack of experience, Lisa surprises everyone by turning out to be a natural on the court. With Lisa on their team, the gang makes it to the final, but they quickly discover that their opponents, Valley High, are cheating by using illegal basketballs.
