A while ago ESPN changed their NBA box scores--which used to be the best around--to some mobile-friendly garbage that shows less information yet takes more space. They also did something similar to the play-by-play pages. Recently I discovered you can still access the old formats by using the "insider.espn.com" domain. This script automatically changes all NBA box score and play-by-play links on ESPN to redirect to the old format. There are menu commands to disable/enable either of these redirects.

Information that ESPN's new box scores are missing:

  • Fast break points
  • Points in the paint
  • Team Turnovers
  • Points off Turnovers
  • Flagrant Fouls
  • Technical Fouls
  • Officials
  • Attendance
  • Time of Game
