Hi everyone,

I'd like to know what the words in italic mean in the sentence below. Does down the stretch mean crucial? What's the meaning of 'trading baskets'? Would you please explain them to me? Many thanks!

Trading baskets down the stretch with Wizards guard Nick Young — who scored a career-high 30 — and shaking off a tweaked right ankle, Redd helped Milwaukee overcome a deficit that was 13 points in the second quarter, 11 at halftime and five entering the final period.

And please tell me what 'next possession' means in this sentence: Young(Nick Young) missed a 3 as the shot-clock expired on Washington's next possession. Thanks in advance.
