One of them was at a regular season game when she was 12, and the other was several years later at a game with significantly higher stakes, on the heels of smash hit “Love Story” and just weeks before her breakout album Fearless would be released. Name either of the two home teams at those games.
Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia Phillies

Who was Prock’s rival?

At the 1954 FIBA World Championships, the country that placed third achieved the highest-ever finish for an Asian team, a mark that has yet to be officially surpassed (technically, Turkey finished second in 2010, but Turkey plays its qualification games in Europe, not Asia). The country, known for its passion for basketball, has never attained those same heights on the world stage since that year; however, it has also managed to rebuild its program from a mid-2000s nadir (when the country’s basketball program was suspended by FIBA), and managed to qualify for the last three World Cups, including this year. What country is it?
Philippines
