slam dunks
I'm no expert on basketball but I think 'mates' are called 'slam dunks' or 'dunks', i.e. when the player jumps up with the ball and slams it through the hoop to score two points. Sounds like the rules for a game: 'No slam dunks during the warm-up or the game.'

I presuem \'mate\' comes from \'remate\' (shot).
