Nice Group Puzzle.
While I'm not that much of a Sports follower I was familiar with the auto models - so was able to solve it with a little more thought.
I also voted and gave it tops for fun.

Thanks for your comment.
Caviler???
WolfPack - not sure what your issue with Cavalier is?
The Cleveland Cavaliers are an NBA team based in Cleveland,Ohio and play in the
Chevrolet manufactured a car called the Cavalier from 1982-2005. AMC (American Motor Company), Packard, and Vauxhall have all also at one time manufactured a car by the name of Cavalier.
IF you are referring to LGM calling the teaser Cavalier -than I am not sure what he meant by it as it is not really a fitting comment to a teaser.

Except when it probably contains a critical spelling error.
I've submitted the correction.

I've submitted the correction.

LOL Not sure how that happened. I Did not even notice that. IT is spelled correctly everywhere else in the teaser...
I will ask to have it corrected

Thanks Marc, glad you liked it. Your opinion means a lot.
Very well done Habs and I did not know you submitted teasers. Good for you. If I was younger I would give it a try. I recognized the car names, but did not connect with the basketball teams. Thanks for posting and I see you brought TLGM out from wherever he was. Nice going!
Nice one!
Great puzzle - thanks, Habs!! I solved it, too, which surprised me as I'm not usually good at recognizing athletic teams and/or car models. Clever and fun.
I got it right for the wrong reason - I said it Group A all had an 'S' omitted from the team name
I got them all but Caviler threw me off at first because the correct spelling is Cavalier. A correction was apparently submitted in July 2015 but it still has not been corrected as of October 28, 2016. The only reason I mention this is because I am from Cleveland home of the NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers.
Way to go Habs! I got the team names so I immediately jumped too the different team divisions. Then I realized I really know nothing about about basketball and so I gave up.ya got me and congrats to that!
You have probably already noted that "Cavalier" is misspelled.
My first response was "Pelican?? That HAS to be it!!" But then I noted the car names. Happily, I made the car association from the bottom up. If I'd noticed Clipper, I may not have gotten it. Never heard of that car...
Fun teaser!!
Fun teaser!!
Fun teaser, but caviler threw me off initially( thought it was meant to be cavalier, all others descriptive )?
Vehicle models & sporting teams didn't count for this Aussie!

Fun and entertaining quiz; I got it right this time around also. I guessed and got it right - I never associated Group A words with car names.
I got it right because "trailblazer" was the only word in Group B that had "er" in it.
The typo in Caviler got me straight onto the wrong scent of misspelled names. The team is actually Portland Trail Blazers with a space while the auto is legally the TrailBlazer (single word but capitalized B) by the way. The rest of Group A made no sense in that theory apart from plural/singular but still didn't work.
Fun puzzle. I didn't associate car names with the words though.
