A hoop-toss game simulative of basketball has a backboard assembly consisting of a backboard, a basketball hoop attached to the backboard whenever it is in use, and a horizontally disposed extensible frame. A central portion of the frame is fixedly attached to the backboard. Two side portions of the frame have rails that are telescopically attached to the central portion. Each of these side portions is biased by associated springs into an expanded position in which the apparatus is held between the vertical walls or jambs of a doorway.
