json

[
  {
    "team":     "Golden State Warriors",
    "opponent": "Los Angeles Lakers",
    "location": "home",
    "datetime": "Fri Mar 28, 7:30 PM PDT",
    "result":   ""
  }
]

Field	Description
team	Full display name of the requested team
opponent	Full display name of the opposing team
location	"home" or "away"
datetime	Game time in the container's local timezone
result	Empty string for upcoming games; score string for completed games (e.g. "Golden State Warriors (W) 112, Los Angeles Lakers 98")

Presentation Guidelines

• For upcoming games: state opponent, home/away, and tip-off date/time.
• For completed games: state opponent, final score, and win/loss.
• If the result array is empty, no games fall in the requested window - do not fabricate or guess.
• Present results conversationally unless the caller context requires structured output.

Trigger Examples

• "When is the next Warriors game?"
• "Did the Bulls win last night?"
• "Show me the Lakers schedule for the next week."
• "What are the upcoming Celtics games?"
