ReactJS: this.props.data.map is not a function

I am trying to get the data from a .json file and displaying the results through a view. Below is the scoreboard.json file.

{
"subject":"scoreboard",
"copyright":"Copyright 2015",
"data":
   "games":{
     "next_day_date":"2015-07-22",
     "modified_date":"2015-08-04T07:34:50Z",
     "month":"07",
     "year":"2015",
     "game":[
        {
           "game_type":"R",
           "double_header_sw":"N",
           "location":"Some City, State",
        }, 
        {
           "game_type":"R",
           "double_header_sw":"N",
           "location":"Another City, Another State"
        }
     ]
   }

I only want the "data" field and not the "subject" or "copyright" fields and am able to do so through the ajax request below.

	getInitialState: function() {
		return {data: []};
	},
	componentDidMount: function() {
		$.ajax({
		  url: this.props.url,
		  dataType: 'json',
		  cache: false,
		  success: function(data) {
		  	console.log(data.data);
		    this.setState({data: data.data});
		  }.bind(this),
		  error: function(xhr, status, err) {
		    console.error(this.props.url, status, err.toString());
		  }.bind(this)
		});
	},

I pass the state down to the receiving file but, when I try to call it I receive a TypeError: this.props.data.map is not a function

	render: function() {
		var gameDate = this.props.data.map(function(data) {
			return (
				<h1>{data.modified_date} </h1>
			);
		});

I want to be able to get all the information that is in the "data" field of the scoreboard.json eventually (i.e. data.games.game[] array). The .map function Does not seem to work for this either.

How would I get the "data" fields (more specifically the modified_date) in the .map function?

Edit: I can log the modified_date by calling data.games.modified_date but, when trying to set the state of data: this.state.data = data.games.game I receive a new warning: Each child in an array or iterator should have a unique "key" prop. Check the render method of "GameDate"

As pointed out by azium my data is an object and not an array like my results were expecting.

To get the "game" array inside the "games" field I set the state as the following:

this.setState({data: data.data.games.game});

To get the other fields I simply created a new state and passed it through a prop i.e. modified_date:

this.state.date = data.data.games.modified_date

The warning: Each child in an array or iterator should have a unique "key" prop. was fixed by adding a "key" property inside the .map method:

render: function() {
    var gameDate = this.props.data.map(function(data) {
        return (
            <h1 key={data.location} >{data.location} </h1>
        );
    });
