The fighting temptations
Darrin Hill (Cuba Gooding Jr.) plays a big-time New York City advertising agent who is forced to return to his rural Southern roots when his only living relative, Aunt Sally (Ann Nesby), dies. Darrin's first impulse is to quickly pay his respects then get back to New York, until he finds out that his aunt has left him an inheritance. Since he has recently lost his job and is in serious debt, he needs the money. But Aunt Sally's stock shares come with a catch: he has to reconstitute the church's choir and lead them to the "Gospel Explosion" competition.
Initially, Darrin doesn't have much to work with, but, after recruiting a local barber shop group (the O'Jays), a beautiful night club singer named Lily (Beyoncé Knowles), and a few prisoners, he had the raw talent necessary to win - if he can put it all together.

When the Denver Nuggets shocked San Antonio in the first game of the NBA playoffs, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich took All-Star Manu Ginobili out of the starting lineup, hoping that he would provide a spark off the bench. That plan worked just fine and the Spurs won their next six games.
But after the Seattle SuperSonics shocked the Spurs not once, but twice, to even their Western Conference semi-final series at two wins apiece, Popovich re-inserted Ginobili into the starting lineup. That move worked to perfection on Tuesday night. Ginobili sparked the listless Spurs with a playoff-career high 39 points and 6 assists while lifting them to a 103-90 victory in Game 5.
