Why do teams perform so much better at home?

In each of the Heat vs Pacers games the home team has won. I've never understood how home field/court is so important, but it clearly is.

I'm usually a little self conscience for "road games." I don't give me best performance.

Know how I know you've never played a sport past the age of 10?
Because even a high school varsity athlete understands home field advantage.

I feel like this is on the wrong board.

The effect is well documented in pretty much every sport known to man. Makes no sense to me, either. I'm not personally a strong believer in "intangibles", but most people apparently are.

Because they're in their element?

Because they are more comfortable at home

94,000 people screaming at the top of their lungs when Alabama is trying to call audibles and get the snap off.
That's why.
Also, frick Alabama and everything about it.
EDIT: Florida, Ole Miss, State, Auburn, Arkansas, and A&M, too.

This thread's home is the MSB.
It would perform better there.

Aside from the obvious, the make-up of the team and how they operate as a unit physically and psychologically plays a part.

A high school classmate of mine theorized that the home field/court advantage is due to having a familiar toilets to crap on. Visiting players can't relax on strange toilets, and all it takes is one player being uncomfortable to effect a team's play.
After laughing at him I decided his theory was as good as any other.

Think about it, you get to sleep at your home, you get to do your ritual, you have control over when you show up and when you eat and things like that and that's not even talking about he crowd etc.

First off, basketball is different than most sports. Studies point to refs calling the game WAY in the home teams favor.
Then you have the comfortability factor. At the top everyone is talented. It's harder to get an edge and lots of it is mental. At home, you get to go through your normal routine which is a big advantage.
Also feeding off the home crowd really helps.
I always enjoyed playing on the road, my stats agreed with that notion.

You're home.
It's the court you practice on but you're sleeping in your bed.You're relaxing at home before the game.
In the NBA I'd think road games are worse than NFL or Pro Baseball.
You're there for one game.
