There are many reasons why it matters in team sports. Fans help their home teams with cheers and by jeering the other team and what not. Being at home also adds comfort and it's more of an internal thing. Players know they have the fans behind them and they feel more comfortable knowing that missing a shot won't get jeers and what not. What's even more important is the ref situation which matters more in the NBA than anywhere else. Home teams seem to get many more fouls called for them than any other teams.
