The 1974–75 Washington Bullets played in their 14th season, 2nd in the Washington, D.C. area, and first under the Washington Bullets name. The franchise changed their name from the Capital Bullets to the Washington Bullets. The franchise captured its 6th division title in 7 years by posting a franchise best record of 60–22.[1] The Bullets were nearly unbeatable at home posting a record of 36–5 at the Capital Centre.[1] The Bullets won their second Eastern Conference title, but similar to their 1971 appearance, were swept in the NBA Finals in four games, this time by the Golden State Warriors. The Bullets had the best team defensive rating in NBA history (91.3).
