As a NBA fan I know it's D: Basketball. Happened between Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons. With a certain famous Ron Artest, who later changed his name to Metta World Peace , involved very much in the brawling that happened that night. 

That's exactly what happened and the Pacers won the match.

"The Palace" used to be home of the Detroit Pistons back then.

Unfortunately it is D. Alexander Dale Oen who was a great breaststroker. He sadly left this world way too early.

But yes, the answer is right again.

After that hiccup earlier, you've recovered quite well.

One more question and the 32,000 will be yours. You have all your lifelines too.

Who won the Olympic 3000 metres race where Mary Decker and Zola Budd collided?
♦ A: Tetyana Samolenko	♦ B: Paula Ivan
♦ C: Maricica Puică	♦ D: Doina Melinte

I know the incident happened at the 1984 SOG in Los Angeles, so I know it's not Tetyana Samolenko, USSR. I think Paula Ivan came later and Doina Melinte doesn't pop up as a name I remember. I will take a little risk and say C. Maricica Puica. I hope to save my lifelines for later.
