Donna hates sports, but she loves her husband Danny. For this reason, she's willing to turn their simple backyard into a miniature basketball court inspired by the Los Angeles Lakers. While Danny's sister takes him out of town to attend a baseball game, Donna calls in the While You Were Out design crew to help turn their yard into a slam-dunk of a make-over. Working with an existing cement slab and a basketball net, landscape designer Mayita Dinos gets to work on the home court. Mayita's plan is to paint a basketball key, have bleachers and players' benches built, along with a concession stand. Leslie Segrete puts her talents towards making pennants, embroidering chairs for a VIP section, and creating a small water fountain out of a water cooler. Andrew Dan-Jumbo works on constructing the bleachers, and uses a similar design for the players' benches. But when Andrew creates the concession stand, Donna is concerned with its size. It's about eight feet tall, and she's worried it's going to block their view of the mountains. And when Leslie sprays a little too much paint onto the court, Mayita's design for Donna and Danny may need some readjustments. Tune in to find out how the home team scores!
