shoot the lights out 

This used surely to be the sign of a marksman. He would shoot out the lights by shooting the wicks of the candles in a chandelier - and the trick was to do it without touching the wax.
Hence it has come to mean extreme accuracy - even in children ball games.

Kevin Durant in Turkey 2010 basketball world championship really did shoot the lights out!

Shoot Out the Lights 

Let me tell you now, about a friend of mine
He tried to shoot them lights, with whiskey and the wine
He didn't get so far, ah his gun was wrong
Now my sweet friend, where's your song?
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Now that friend of mine, he never made a day
Didn't know what to do, told him to get away
I ain't going yet he said, I'm gonna be a star

I got a gun my friend, sitting in the car
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Let me tell you now, about a friend of mine
He tried to shoot them lights, with whiskey and the wine
He didn't get so far, ah his gun was wrong
Now my sweet friend, where's your song?
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
