The answer to the question on everyone’s mind: where will game 6 of the NBA finals be played?
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the NBA Finals at the Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday, June 16. The Cavaliers have a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series and will be looking to close out the series and win their first NBA championship in franchise history.
Home Court Advantage
Home court advantage is the belief that a team playing with the support of its home crowd gives the team an advantage. The home crowd can be a significant factor in the outcome of a game, especially in close games. players feed off the energy of the crowd and it can give them a boost when they need it most.
The home team typically has more fans in attendance than the away team, and those fans can make a lot of noise. This can make it difficult for the away team to communicate on the court and make it easier for the home team to get open shots. The home team also has more familiarity with its own arena, which can give them an advantage on both ends of the court.
In the NBA Finals, home court advantage is even more important because there is only one game played at each arena. This means that the team with home court advantage will have two games played at their arena, while the other team will only have one. This gives the team with home court advantage a significant advantage, as they will have more familiar surroundings and more support from their fans.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have home court advantage in the NBA Finals because they had a better regular season record than the Golden State Warriors. This means that if the series goes to seven games, two of those games will be played in Cleveland. The Cavaliers will also have home court advantage in any potential Game 7 because they are the higher seed in the series.

The Raptors, who are looking to win their first NBA championship in franchise history, will need to win Game 6 to force a seventh and deciding game back in Oakland on Sunday.
It is no secret that home court advantage can be a huge factor in any playoff series, but it has been especially pronounced in this year’s NBA Finals. In the first five games of the series, the home team has won each time. In fact, the home team has won 31 of the 32 games played so far in these playoffs.
The Warriors are a perfect 9-0 at home during these playoffs, while the Raptors are 8-1. The only road team to win a game so far in these finals has been the Raptors, who rallied from a 5-point deficit with less than three minutes remaining in Game 4 to stun the Warriors 106-105 and even the series at two games apiece.
But Golden State is a perfect 6-0 at home this season when facing elimination, dating back to last year’s Western Conference Finals against Houston. And they will have the Oracle Arena crowd behind them once again on Thursday night as they try to close out the Raptors and clinch another NBA title.
