Match NBA play by play data to timestamp

[GHack101]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how if I had the gameclock time in a game, I could match those to real world time? Or if someone out there has already done this somehow? Thanks

You can use the NBA API for this. For example:

http://stats.nba.com/stats/playbyplayv2 ... ndPeriod=1

For each play, PCTIMESTRING is the amount of time left in the period, and WCTIMESTRING is the real world time.
