The Washington Capitols were a charter Basketball Association of America (forerunner of the National Basketball Association) team based in Washington, D.C. The team was coached from 1946 to 1949 by NBA Hall of Famer Red Auerbach. The team was founded in 1946 as a charter BAA team; it became a charter NBA team in 1949. It folded on January 9, 1951 (with a 10–25 record). The team would try to make a comeback in the 1951-52 season in the American Basketball League, but the team would once again fold during the month of January there. The home arena was Uline Arena in Washington, capacity 7,500. The teams wore green and white. The NBA returned to the Washington, D.C. area in 1973, when the Baltimore Bullets became the Capital Bullets. ==Franchise history== The Capitols' 81.7 win percentage in the BAA's inaugural season is still one of the top 10 winning percentages in NBA history. The Washington Capitols are also noteworthy for two long win streaks during their short history. In 1946, the Capitols won 17 straight games — a single season streak that remained the NBA's longest until 1969. The 15–0 start of the 1948–49 team was the best in NBA history until the Golden State Warriors broke it in 2015-16, though the Houston Rockets had previously tied the Capitols' record in 1993-94. *NBA Championships: None *Divisional Championships: Regular Season: 2 (1946–47 and 1948–49) ; playoffs (1947, 1948 tie-breaker, 1949, 1950) Basketball Hall of Famers: *Bill Sharman (leading scorer in the 1951 season) *Red Auerbach (coach) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Washington Capitols」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
