For the mental part of things, perhaps you and your partners need a better pregame discussion. Talk about plays you had this season, or things you read here. That will get your mind on basketball, and what goes on during a game.
For the physical part, try doing some stretching and calisthenics (jumping jacks, etc) before going out to the court. You should do being that anyway, as you never want to work cold muscles.
