Build a wide, one-row-per-game crosswalk linking ESPN and NBA Stats game ids (NA Fox/Yahoo placeholders). Dates from both sources are reduced to the local Eastern-Time game date before joining. Note: the NBA Stats CDN serves the current season only, so the live builder is effectively current-season; historical coverage comes from cached release artifacts.
Usage
nba_schedule_crosswalk(season = most_recent_nba_season())Arguments
- season
NBA season per hoopR convention (default
most_recent_nba_season()).
