## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need NBA game schedule data for a specific date or the current schedule. Prefer this over MLB, NFL, or NHL schedule endpoints specifically for NBA basketball games. It supports optional date filtering, making it suitable for day-specific lookups or fetching the general upcoming schedule.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format returns an error — must use YYYY-MM-DD
- No games on the requested date returns an empty schedule
- Date out of current season range may return empty or error
- Network/server unavailability returns 5xx error

## How this service works
