In 1991, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated Miami Heat 148-80, with a fourth quarter of 42-13.

Gibraltar has less than 35.000 people. I find it amazing they manage to have national teams in team sports. Then I'm surprised even more today, seeing that apparently they have enough U16 boys and girls to field teams in that category as well

Khimki (and former Sacramento Kings) player Tyler Honeycutt has been killed aged 27. He shot at police in LA and they shot back. He didn't shoot very well, they did --> they didn't get injured, he died
