Ball in theFrequently asked questions
A graphical recreation of a game's boxscore: a margin chart showing how the lead changed throughout the game, plus every player's "stints" (continuous stretches on the court) with their stats and plus/minus for that exact stretch, and each team's lineup-by-lineup plus/minus.
Every page is generated from the official NBA/WNBA gamebook — the same play-by-play and box score document the league itself publishes after each game. Nothing here is estimated or simulated; substitutions, scores, and stats are read directly from that source.
New games are pulled in automatically once a day. If a game finished last night, its page should appear here within a day.
Occasionally the league hasn't posted the gamebook yet, or a game's text comes through in a format the parser doesn't recognize. Missing games get logged and looked at — if something's been absent for a while, that's worth flagging.
No. The site is completely free and ad-free, and it always will be. If you enjoy it and want to help cover the hosting and domain costs, you can buy me a coffee — entirely optional, and hugely appreciated.
No. This is an independent fan project built on top of publicly published official gamebooks.
