NBA finals fan trivia flame
By Rebekah Bradford Special to The Post and Courier | Wednesday, June 20, 2012
We haven’t had any sports trivia in a while, and Head2Head loves sports trivia.
The NBA Finals could end this week if Miami, especially LeBron James, plays the way it has in games two and three, but we’re kind of hoping Oklahoma City pushes them to a seventh game.
Last week’s winner, John Evans, is being challenged by carpenter Kevin Miller.
