First Baskets of Game Two

Easy — logic-grid deduction puzzle

The sheet listing the first baskets of Quentin, Anselmo, Ambrose and Tyrell in game two went missing.

Game two was a wild one. Four of the five starters, Quentin, Anselmo, Ambrose and Tyrell, each scored his first basket of the night in a different quarter. Each did it with a different kind of shot, and each wore a different pair of sneakers. The fifth starter never scored at all. Someone on the bench wrote those four baskets down on a sheet, but by the final buzzer the sheet was gone. The players on the bench still remembered bits of it. Help them put it back together.

Clues

1. Ambrose got his first basket in the first quarter.
2. Tyrell scored in an earlier quarter than Anselmo did.
3. Either Quentin or Anselmo sank the dunk.
4. The three-pointer came in a quarter after the dunk and before the layup.
5. The hook was sunk by the player in the teal sneakers.
6. Whoever scored in the second quarter had on the gold sneakers.
7. The player in the white sneakers scored in a later quarter than the player in the black pair.
