Kris,
I'd say you did pretty well producing images that don't look like they have suffered terribly from the light. My first suggestion to you in this kind of situation would be to drop your shutter speed if you believe you are as high with your ISO as you are willing to go. Everything's a tradeoff, but I'm sure you can get decent, sharp images with a lower shutter speed if that's what it takes to achieve proper exposure with workable levels of noise. My second bit of advice is to shoot with your camera in the vertical position. I'd say that in 4 of these 7 images, you've cut off hands/feet/ball that would have served you better in the frame, and a simple turn of your camera might prevent this. Personally, I don't see basketball as a horizontal game, so I shoot both near and far court vertically. And if you look at the shots here that I'm referring to (1, 2, 3 and 5), for 3 of the 4 I would argue that the content of the sides of the frames added by the horizontal perspective detracts more than it adds to the images. So you're cutting out important stuff for the sake of including stuff that doesn't help the image, which warrants a change in approach.
It looks like you have a good eye and good timing for action. You can adapt to the lighting challenges. Then it's time to look carefully at what you are and are not capturing and set your goals from there.
