There is a reason they come out blurry. To freeze action you need a fast shutter speed. The problem is with a fast shutter you are not letting in much light. You need to either use a high ISO(increase your camera's sensitivity to light) or use a lens that will let you open up to a large aperture(letting in more light). You have a D3000 so I know you can adjust your ISO. Turn it up to 1000 or higher, and shoot in shuttter priority at at least 1/125th shutter speed. The camera will then adjust the aperture for you.How to take good photos inside a basketball stadium?
Get different lenses and sit court side?
