I shot my last game for the year - highly doubtful that our team will make it into championship play. This was an away game at an unusually well-lit gym. I always look forward to shooting there. Shot with my 7D, ISO ranging from 1600 to 2500 as the sun went down & I no longer had light from the bank of windows. Used my 85 1.8 for everything. Setting were 1/500 at 2.2. Thanks for any comments or suggestions!

Nice shots, Kathleen. I especially like 1 (looks like you could have put out your hand for him to get a boost from!) and 4. I'm definitely not used to seeing such shadow-free ambient basketball shots.
The gym is amazing, Russ. Banks & banks of lights on the ceiling, a huge row of windows and tons of space behind the baskets. In the case of the first image, I was almost directly behind the basket. The down side of that space is I was lulled into a false sense of security. I'd forgotten that the bigger players still can travel pretty far. During the varsity game, I ended up with the center sliding backwards into my lap. "Sorry, Mrs. Martin" and off he went.
Ah, that old false sense of security! No harm, no foul as they say... Funny.
