[Bug]: Connection issues with nba-api on AWS EC2 (Error 10054 / Timeout)

[mvrebolo]

NBA API Version

1.1.13

Issue

Hi,

I'm encountering a persistent issue when using the nba-api package on an AWS EC2 instance. The same script works perfectly on my local machine, but when running on EC2, it fails with the following errors:

1. ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
2. ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='stats.nba.com', port=443): Read timed out

---

Steps to Reproduce

Here's a minimal script to reproduce the issue:

from nba_api.stats.endpoints import commonteamroster

try:
    # Query for Atlanta Hawks (TeamID: 1610612737)
    roster = commonteamroster.CommonTeamRoster(team_id=1610612737).get_data_frames()
    print("Request successful!")
    print(roster[0].head())  # Print sample data
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

Environment Details

Operating System: Windows Server 2019 (AWS EC2 instance)
Python Version: 3.7.9 (same as the local machine)
nba-api Version: 1.1.13

Troubleshooting Steps Tried

Configured the instance with an Elastic IP.
Ensured the security group allows outbound traffic on port 443.
Updated the system packages and Python libraries.
Tried setting custom headers and timeouts using NBAStatsHTTP.

I appreciate any help, thank you!
