Currently, the play by play is retrieved from stats.nba.com. Recently, they updated their system to try to prevent non-browser access to the site. I made a quick hack to get around it, but I assume it will break again soon. I think we should move over to basketball-reference for play-by-play data.

I gave up on stats.nba.com because they kept messing with their API. I've since been scraping from basketballreference. I'm happy to share that with you, but its pretty hacky right now.

Hello, did the basketballreference scraping end up working? I'm interested in SportVu-esque play-by-play data, would love to help if I can.
