3. The Oracle

One of the biggest advantages for the Golden State Warriors is the Oracle Arena. Whereas Team USA plays in several venues across the world, the Warriors have their own home-court advantage and they have the best in the NBA.

The teams owns the NBA record for the longest winning streak at home and they just seem to play a lot better when their own crowd starts to rally around them and get behind them.

With the noise that overtakes the arena, it only takes a few big shots for the Warriors to get on a roll and use the crowd to their advantage over their opponent.

Even if Team USA has the best players in the world, the minute that crowd in Oakland fires up and the Warriors start hitting their shots, it’s all over.

Things would be different if the game was played at a neutral site and the Warriors didn’t have the added bonus of their fans, but if this thing is in Oakland, it’s hard to bet against Golden State in this hypothetical scenario.

As has been evidenced across multiple professional sports platforms all around the world, having a raucous home crowd can be the difference between winning and losing every single time.
