Today’s NYT Connections Sport Clues for 11 Feb: Connections’ #245 Answers

Yellow Group: Areas on a Basketball Court

• Baseline, Corner, Elbow, Paint
  Basketball fans will recognize these terms as specific spots on the court. Whether you’re taking a corner three-pointer, setting up near the elbow, or battling for a rebound in the paint, these are all crucial areas of play.

Green Group: Close Margin

• Hair, Nose, Split Second, Whisker
  Ever heard of a photo finish being decided by a hair or a nose? These phrases all refer to something happening in extremely close proximity—just a whisker away, if you will. Sports are often decided by such fine margins.

Blue Group: Characters on Ted Lasso

• Beard, Kent, Lasso, Rojas
  If you love Ted Lasso, this group was an easy one! Coach Beard, Roy Kent, Ted Lasso himself, and Dani Rojas are all major characters in the hit Apple TV Plus show that blends soccer, comedy, and heartfelt storytelling.

Purple Group: Things That Begin a Game

• Faceoff, First Pitch, Jump Ball, Kickoff
  Every sport has its way of getting things started. In hockey, it’s a faceoff; in baseball, the first pitch kicks things off; basketball begins with a jump ball; and in football (both American and soccer), a kickoff starts the action.
