The 1954–55 Rochester Royals season NBA .[ 1] Baltimore Bullets on November 6, 1954, blowing out Baltimore that game with a 128–80 victory in Rochester's favor before the original Bullets team folded operations early in the season on November 27, 1954; that game they played would ultimately end up being wiped out from the official record books for the NBA's history. If the game they played was officially kept as a part of the season's record for the Royals, their official record would have had Rochester get a losing record of 30–43 instead of 29–43 for their season, though the Royals would still end up having a better record than the Milwaukee Hawks to end up qualifying for the 1955 NBA playoffs .[ 2]
