I've never heard anything about increased testostrone levels but I know there are several other valid factors. Familiarity with the environs is one. The comfort you feel able to drive your own car to the gym after sleeping in your own bed and being in a regular setting makes a difference. I do think there is an added bit of adrenalin when the home crowd gets going behind you and I think it also influences the refs a little when 18,000 people are screaming in favor of some calls and against others.

Then you have guys like Bird, Jordan, and Kobe that relish going on the road and shutting everyone up.
