Powershell select leaf nodes

I believe I in the right top node. I how do I traverse down to the node I need. Code is attached and a Screen shot of Node I am on and node I want to get to. I want to return the "UTA" for away team.

Add-Type -path C:\pstemp\HtmlAgilityPack\Net40\htmlagilitypack.dll

CLS

$Website = "http://www.nba.com/gameline/20151031/"
$wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient;
$doc = New-Object HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument
$doc.LoadHtml($wc.DownloadString($Website))

$games = @()
$Allgames = @()

foreach ($node1 in $doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@class='nbaModOuterBox gameModule']"))
{

	foreach ($node2 in $node1.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@class='nbaModTopTeamAw']") )
	{
		$AwayTeam = $node2.Innertext
		Write-Host $AwayTeam
	}
	
}

Made some progress this way but I can seem to get the first 4 records to parse correctly only the last 2

Hi,
could you please explain in words, which parts of the page you want to capture?

As far as I can see, the gametime is only available on the current day, not in the past.

Thanks.

Hello Rainer correct. just replace the "/20151031/" at the end of the link to a future date

I need the gametime value and the to teams playing at that time

Qlemo

I'm not clear about the intended output. Can you show a future game result as you expect it to be?

Leo Torres

ASKER

sorry for the delayed response. I need the gametime, and each team. That's it 3 itmes.

Sample
Gametime AwayTeam Hometeam
7:30PM MIA ORL

This is an example this data may not exists I just created off the top of my head. If you want to test the webpage you have to choose a future date in the link. Games in the past do not have a Gametime value.
