how does home court advantage work
In: 153
There is no “actual” advantage. But just like when you or I have to go somewhere new, stay in a hotel room, go to an office your not familiar with or a new location, its just not the same as being at home. Dressing in your own locker room, walking your hallways and playing on your court that your intimately familiar with, there’s a “my house” outlook.
In sports the crowd is also a huge part of your momentum. Opponents on a streak get the boos and distracting gestures/taunting. Home team on streak get chants, hype, motivation, etc.
It’s all just psychological, but you can’t deny its affect on the players and thus the game.
