This seems to be just searching the clip title. For example, if you search 'curry 3' ('curry three' returns nothing), it'll return things like "Curry 2' Finger Roll Layup (6 PTS) (Iguodala 3 AST)" or "Curry REBOUND (Off:0 Def:3)". If it could match the search query with play-by-play data, now THAT'd be cool.
The NBA may be the only US pro sports league that actually doesn't mind having highlights compiled and shared online. In fact, the current commissioner has said, "We’re incredibly protective of our live game rights, but for the most part highlights are marketing."[0]

Presumably because Nash is on the warriors coaching staff.
Theoretically, it shouldn't be terribly technically difficult to attach a few sensors to each player to get a relatively hi-res 3D representation of each player's position throughout the game, should it?
Annotating the action accurately, not so easy, or might there be some trick?
For example, this well circulated failed dunk attempt by Curry from earlier this season is not there: https://streamable.com/mntc
0 results lol
Also videos of every play are available as clips on the NBA site, this just seems like a more searchable version.
e.g., if I search "westbrook dunk", I probably don't want the normal dunks first, or the time he passed to someone else who then had the dunk. Show me the great Westbrook dunks first, then the normal ones, then the assists to other dunkers.
A suggestion: limit the search to the substring of the title between commas. It seems to always match a player with his play.

However it appears outdated since the dates only go up to 8/4/2016.
If this needs some special syntax or keywords, you should let the user know.
every letter search becomes a new route.. yikes that is awful for going back
also, I searched for ginobili assist but it found all plays with ginobili and any assist.
good start and the video quality is pretty strong on mobile
