Scores, box scores, standings, injury reports, rosters, lineups and broadcast listings are pulled from official and public sources every few minutes and stored in our own database; every page on the site is rendered from that database, never from a rumor or a memory. Every number you see carries a timestamp. If a source stops updating, the page tells you how old the data is instead of pretending.
01
How it works
Game recaps, injury updates, team briefings and game-night shows are produced by the team desks with the newsroom's writing system, working strictly from the data described above, under rules kept by a human editor who reviews what is published and owns the corrections. The whole method is on the newsroom page. Our editorial policy explains the source tiers, the reliability badges (Official, Reliable, Rumor, Analysis) and the checks a piece has to pass before it is published.
02
Masthead
Hoops Nightly is organised as thirty team desks and one league desk. Every page is signed by its desk (Lakers Nightly Desk, Celtics Nightly Desk, Hoops Nightly Desk), never by an individual, and never by an invented name: no pen names, no stock faces, no biographies for people who do not exist. The desk that signs a page produced it under the newsroom's written rules from the data on that page; the publisher answers for it. How the desks are run, staffed and reviewed is on the newsroom page; each desk's own coverage, sources and numbers are on the 30 desks.
