Looking for a specific database -

Hey Gents,
I'm glad to have found this site, as discussion boards on advanced NBA stats are far and few between.
I'm a professional MLB and NBA researcher and I've run into a bit of a problem - I'm building a rather simple predictive model, but to preform a proper regression on it, I'll need a decent number of Game Summaries from all teams and multiple, recent years. I need just basic team stats - Points scored, Offensive Rebounds, Turnovers, Defensive Turnovers, Field Goal Percentage, Free Throw Percentage, Free Throws Attempted, Blocks, Steals - I believe that's all. I've looked through basketball-reference.com and hoopdata.com, Googled a good bit, and of course perused my team's proprietary databases. If anyone knows where I can find this information of the top of their heads, preferably in a CSV or Excel downloadable format, it would be much appreciated.
The information I'm looking for seems so basic, I'm absolutely floored I cannot find it on my own volition.
Thanks again for any information you all may have.
