Load wehoop WNBA Stats box scores

load_wnba_stats_player_boxscores() loads WNBA Stats API (boxscoretraditionalv3) player box scores, one row per player per game, from the wnba_stats_player_boxscores release tag. load_wnba_stats_team_boxscores() loads the matching team totals, one row per team per game, from the wnba_stats_team_boxscores release tag. Both carry the WNBA Stats ids (team_id, person_id, game_id), not ESPN's; for ESPN box scores see load_wnba_player_box() and load_wnba_team_box().

  tablename = NULL
)
