Home advantage disappears? This year s playoff home team s winning rate has encountered a rare dilemma since 1981

The second round of the NBA playoffs was exciting, and the away team's wonderful performance has never been seen since the 1980s. The second round of the NBA playoffs is a feast for all basketball fans, and it is more exciting than in previous years. The away team has been in control of the game, but it’s not just in the second round, but throughout the playoffs this season. According to The Athletic's Mike Vulkunov, the away team's wonderful performance has never been seen since the 1980s.

"The significance of home games is no longer the same. This spring, NBA teams' home record was only 26 wins and 24 losses," Vorkunov wrote. "This is the lowest winning rate of home teams in the playoffs since 1981 (the 2020 playoffs were played in the rematch park).

"Although the home teams in the 1981 NBA playoffs were less than 50%, it was just a flash in the pan. The second year, the home team's playoff winning rate reached about 60%, and it continued to rise every year, approaching the highest level in history. In fact, in the first 78 seasons of the playoffs, home teams have won at least 60% in 56 seasons. "The most unique thing about Game 7 no longer gives home teams the advantage as before. "Once upon a time, playing this life-and-death battle at home was the ballast for high-ranking teams," Vorkunov wrote. "In the first 73 seasons since the league was established, their winning rate in the seventh game was as high as 79.1%. Since 2021, the home team has only 5 wins and 10 losses in Game 7. It's almost no surprise that the Warriors won in Houston on Sunday. ”Is the NBA's home advantage disappearing?

Looking at the second round of the playoffs, it's hard not to notice that away teams often dominate when entering enemy territory. The Indiana Pacers won both away games and dramatically won with the outstanding performance of Tyres Halliburton in Game 2, eventually leading the Cleveland Cavaliers 2-0.

The New York Knicks ended up leading Boston Kay 2-0 after falling behind 20 points in both games The Denver Nuggets, return to home. The Denver Nuggets stole the victory with Aaron Gordon's winning three-pointer in their first away game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

After their seventh game against the Houston Rockets two days later, they headed to Minnesota and stole a game from the Timberwolves without much of the game with Stephen Curry missing. Today's NBA is proving that no lead is a sure win, and the home advantage is no longer as obvious as before.
