The Algebra of Venue: “Glory” road doesn’t stray far from home

During the 2017-18 NBA regular season, Home teams won 712 times out of 1,230 games – that’s a winning percentage of .579, a pace to win 47 or 48 games.

As both Conference Finals stand dead-even after four games, Home teams have won 52 times out of 72 playoff games – that’s a winning percentage of .722, a pace for about 60 regular-season wins.

The Celtics have lived a Home – Road dichotomy post Game 82, 11 or so points better than the other guys at home, 11 or so points worse away from their friendly North End confines.
