no game score found for team

Error message

no game score found for team

What it means

The nba segment fetches the NBA scoreboard and looks up a game by team tricode (3-letter abbreviation). findGameScoreByTeamTricode() returns 'no game score found for team' when no game in the scoreboard data matches the configured team's tricode.

Solutions

1. Verify the `team_tricode` (or equivalent) option matches the official NBA tricode for the team.
2. Remember the segment only shows during/around games — it is expected to hide when the team isn't playing.
3. Check the NBA data feed manually for the date in question to confirm no game is scheduled.
4. Use display_mode or fallback text options so the segment renders nothing instead of erroring visibly.

Example fix

// before
"team_tricode": "LAC"  // intended Clippers? LAC vs LAL confusion
// after
"team_tricode": "LAL"

tricode="LAL"; case $tricode in LAL|BOS|GSW|NYK) echo ok;; *) echo 'use official NBA tricode';; esac

game, err := findGameScoreByTeamTricode(games, tricode)
if err != nil {
    // no game today: render nothing
}

When it happens

Trigger: retrieveScoreData runs while the day's scoreboard contains no game for the configured team: team not playing today, wrong tricode in theme config, or game outside the fetched date range.

Common situations: Offseason or non-game days; user typo'd the tricode (must be the official NBA abbreviation, e.g. 'LAL', 'BOS'); team relocated/renamed and config kept the old code; timezone boundaries meaning the game falls on a different scoreboard date.
