You have to make sure to follow-through. In other words, "flick" your wrist toward the basket when you shoot. Keep your fingers spread on your shooting hand, bring the ball up, and then when you let the ball go, flick your wrist so that your fingers are pointing down and toward the basket, like reaching into a cookie jar.
Here's a drill that can help (one-handed shooting drill).
1. Stand on the side of the basket that's the same as your strong hand (if you shoot with your right hand, stand on the right side of the basket, left-handed then the left side) at the lower block.
2. Face the basket as you are going to bank a jump-shot off of the backboard
3. Using your shooting hand, and only your shooting hand, try to shoot and bank the ball off of the backboard to make the basket
* Do not use your guide/off hand even to bring the ball up to the shooting position, only your shooting hand for this drill
4. Make 10 shots like this, then go shoot around like normal again
5. If you feel yourself pushing the ball or not following through, then go back in close to the basket and make an additional 5-10 one-handed shots before continuing to shoot around

Wrist action. Make sure you follow through with your shot and not drop you hands down back to your body directly after you release.
