The National Basketball Association play-offs are currently under way and the Boston Celtics are facing the Utah Jazz in a highly crucial series. This is also the last year that any games will be played in the Boston Garden, which is going to be torn down after the end of the season.
Mike O'Hara (Daniel Stern) and Jimmy Flaherty (Dan Aykroyd) are two die-hard sports fans who will risk absolutely anything in order to allow the Celtics to actually win, and are really getting into the games.
The Celtics would be a sure win if it weren't for Lewis Scott (Damon Wayans), the cocky, loud-mouth star of the Utah Jazz.
After Scott himself punishes the Celtics in a bad loss, Mike and Jimmy decide to take things into their own hands by kidnaping Scott and holding him until after the crucial game takes place - thus rendering the Celtics winners, but will it go that smoothly?!?.
