The NBA 's home team won 60% of its regular-season games from 2000 to 2013 , clear evidence of home-court advantage.

That number dipped to 58% for the first time this century in 2014 , as teams averaged more than 20 3 -point attempts per game.

Home teams are 39-19 when they make more 3s ; road teams are 36-20 when they do so.

This season , it has not mattered where teams are playing.
