Get this box score from the API

Every game has an id, and this one is 1469. /api/basketball/games/1469/players returns one line per player: minutes, points, shooting, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, fouls and plus-minus. Players who didn't play have the reason in dnp. The team totals are at /api/basketball/games/1469.
