Sun bloc?

Answer:

NBA

Hint:

Think of a league where the heat is on the court, not in the sky—its teams often play under bright arena lights.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the word "Sun" as a double meaning—the Phoenix Suns are an NBA team, so "Sun bloc" hints at blocking (or "bloc"-king) them. The answer "NBA" works because it’s the league they belong to, turning the clue into a clever nod to basketball. Think of it as a pun where "bloc" sounds like "block," tying the team to its sport.
