Resource for box scores that includes shot location data?
I'm looking to do some work on shot locations' predictive values, but am having trouble finding game-specific data for shot locations. Ideally, I'm looking for something that gives the information that BBRef gives in its "shooting" sections on teams' pages, but for individual games rather than the whole season. I feel like NBA.com provides it with its SportVU data, but I can't find game-specific stuff there, either. I know it should be available somewhere, but I haven't had any luck locating it. If anyone knows where I can find such data, it would be greatly appreciated!

here is the info for the warriors in game 5 vs the rockets

obviously, doing this manually for each game and team won't be very efficient, so hopefully you can figure out how to automate it

If you haven't found your solution, check out the python package I put together. I'm pretty sure It can get you exactly what you want.
