Okay, so today I decided to dig into the stats from the Knicks vs. Golden State Warriors game. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, just to see if I could easily pull player stats from a specific match. Here’s how I went about it, step by step.
Finding the Data
First, I needed a good source for the data. I didn’t want to manually copy and paste everything. I remembered some sites offering sports data, but nothing in particular this time, I just searched it from the search engine directly, and it’s simple and clear, no need to jump to a detailed page.
Getting the Specific Stats
Once I found the site, I looked for the specific Knicks vs. Warriors game. I mean, there are tons of games, so you gotta find the right one. After I located the game, it displayed a summary, including the final score, date and the detailed player box scores I’m looking for. I took some time for this, and organized a table for my final results.
Putting It All Together
Finally, I started recording all data I need.
Here’s a simplified version of the data structure I used:
- Player Name:(String)
- Minutes Played:(Integer)
- Points:(Integer)
- Rebounds:(Integer)
- Assists:(Integer)
- And much more
I used the above data, and kept it organized in order.
It was a bit of a learning curve, but I finally managed to extract the specific player stats for the Knicks vs. Warriors game. Not perfect, but hey, it works! I’ll have the raw data. Next time, I want to see if I can automate this to quickly compare stats across multiple games. That would be pretty cool!
