Timezone issues with NBA live score v2

The live score v2 end point is limited to one day of games and is based on UTC. This creates an issue where some NBA games start at 23:00 UTC, display live scores for one hour, and then disappear.
Has anyone dealt with this issue before? Is there another end point to use for live scores based on `dateEventLocale` instead of `dateEvent`?

Hmm we used to have this issue with NFL but it should now work. I will check it out. Just hard to test sometimes as we are in a GMT timezone.
You can potentially lookup the event details via eventid for a slower update of livescores.

Confirming that games that started at 23:00 UTC yesterday (e.g. Washington @ Atlanta, Chicago @ Milwaukee) disappeared from the livescore feed 30 minutes after start time while games that started at 0:00 UTC (e.g. New Orleans @ Memphis) continued to update until the game ended.
Some of the other live score feeds seem to switch days at around 15:00 UTC (e.g. the v1 latestncaabasketball.php). Can we please change the v2 livescore feeds for NBA (l=4387) and MLB (l=4424) to also switch days at 15:00 UTC?

Zag - It looks like you may have solved this. Did you? If so, that would be really amazing!
EDIT: Ah actually I see that we're still having the same issue. Tonight's Bucks at Heat game will disappear after 30 minutes.

One way to solve this could be to expand the range of dates for the livescore endpoint to 2 dates ... the current UTC date and the previous day's UTC date. ?
