play by play data #126

Is there anyway to add the full name of the player in play by play instead of just the last name. In the current format a player on the same team who has the same last name is indistinguishable. Ex: Tyler Johnson and James Johnson on the Heat.

PlayByPlay is a simple endpoint that doesn't contain the detailed information. You'll want to use PlayByPlayV2.
