Fetch boxscore/playbyplay from FIBA LiveStats data.json feed#1
Merged
Conversation
The hosted Genius Sports competition-scoped HTML pages
(competition/{id}/match/{id}/boxscore|playbyplay) return 404 once a
competition id rotates/closes, which dropped every playoff-final game
(no complete boxscore -> skipped by the ingestion).
Switch the primary source to the FIBA LiveStats data.json feed, which is
keyed only by match id and stays available for past and playoff matches.
A new genius_livestats_parser converts that feed into the same
intermediate shapes normalize_boxscore and _calculate_possessions
already consume, so possession logic is unchanged (validated to
reproduce stored boxscore totals and possession counts exactly). The
hosted HTML path remains as a fallback.

Why
The hosted Genius Sports competition-scoped pages (
competition/{id}/match/{id}/boxscoreand.../playbyplay) return 404 for the entire 25-26 season — the competition id (42145) has rotated/closed. Because the ingestion requires a complete boxscore + play-by-play, all 14 playoff-final games (Mar 29 – Apr 26) were skipped, freezing the site at Mar 28.What

On a known-good game the LiveStats path reproduces the previously-stored boxscore totals and possession counts exactly (80/81/161). Re-running ingestion adds the 14 playoff games (159 total, all with boxscore + pbp).
