1. Puzzle #82 answer: MILWAUKEE BUCKS

Correct entries: 71, a very solid Level 1/1.5


Shortest explanation: The four clues to the NBA teams give us BULLS, HAWKS, KINGS, and ROCKETS. Per the clue for CITY, we take their cities' initial letters (Chicago, Atlanta, Sacramento, Houston) to get CASH, the fifth and final clue for our final NBA team: the MILWAUKEE BUCKS, the answer to the meta! (Wanted to get it to MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for my initials but no dice!)

2. This one is meant to track upward, and I'll put it at a Level 3 at the lowest, with what I reckon would be more like a Level 3.5.

Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

The answer to the meta is how chemists might describe their work.
