NBA games with wrong date

Hi,

I've been watching that some NBA games appear the day after they really happened. Maybe it has something to do with the game time and my time frame.

Sample:

https://es.global.nba.com/scores/#!/2018-12-31

Hi,

This is because NBA games are entered on the DB using UTC times.

I guessed that, but can it be fixed?

Yeh I really need a solution to this, but not sure what to do as the only source I had for the schedual was a UK website which is in GMT or UTC time.

The solution I guess is to manually edit those games to standard USA dates. I think its only the evening matches that go over the mid night in GMT time.

I will have to think about a more permanent solution for the next seasons import. Unless anyone knows of a US website that lists all the matches on a single page.

Best way is to have a UTC or ISO format date combined with time that way its easier to convert it to date and time of an specific timezone

Example: 2018-12-29T15:00:00Z

alternative way is to combine the existing Dateevent with strTime and at T in between and Z at the end

Currently is on that way, as NBA events are entered on UTC times & days

Yeh I think we need to find a standard way to any developer can just translate from UTC easily.
