Brain Game: Nothing But Net
by Sandy Wood - November 24, 2009 - 7:30 AM

THE SOLUTION:

Devon is a fan of the Sacramento Kings;
Evan prefers the Minnesota Timberwolves;
Kevin likes the Oklahoma City Thunder;
Seven roots for the Miami Heat; and
Tevin is a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers.

NOTES:

L.A.’s NHL franchise is known as the Kings.

The Timberwolves are the current NBA franchise in Minnesota; the L.A. Lakers were formerly the Minneapolis Lakers.

The Miami Heat joined the NBA in 1988, one year before the Orlando Magic.

  5. Katie, like Phil’s response, that would cause problems with clue #2, since Tevin’s team has to be one of the two teams referenced there.

  6. Couldn’t Kevin also be a fan of the Heat?

  7. Is Heat not a weather related name?

  8. Gil, Seven is a fan of the Heat (the oldest franchise in Florida). Since each chose a different team, Kevin cannot be a fan of the Heat.

  9. People! Please! Read all of the clues! The Heat are weather-related, but they had to be used as the oldest team from Florida. Of course there are other teams that share the same letter for their location and their name, but the L.A. Lakers had to be used since they are one of two teams originally from Minnesota. Amen.
