Start by reading about the history, rules, fouls, violations first. Nothing will sink your credibility with readers more if you haven't much clue about what you are writing.
Find out the history of the team, their record and who their star and weakest player(s) are. Take notice of the atmosphere at the game and look for a possible angle or key interview when the game concludes.
It is my feeling that you should ask your editor for another assignment as this will be very difficult to pull off if you don't know much about basketball.
It could damage your chances at the paper if the editor has you write something and then detects what you missed or didn't know.
If going ahead with this know as much as you can about the team, basketball, stars on the team etc. and research about them until game night.
