I′ve always been fascinated by the concept of home court advantage in sports, especially after my own team lost a crucial game at home last season. We had great players and good stats, but the energy just felt off. I started digging into it and realized there’s so much more to it than just familiarity with the court. Factors like travel fatigue for the opponents, crowd support, and even referee biases seem to play a role. I’m curious to know, from a sports analytics perspective, what specific metrics or data points actually show how these factors contribute to a team′s performance at home compared to away games?
