The 1948–49 BAA season was the Capitols' 3rd season in the NBA/BAA. They became the first team to win 15 straight games to start the season, a BAA record and then an NBA record at the time, which would since be tied 45 years later by the Houston Rockets in 1993 before Golden State Warriors surpassed it in 2015. The Cleveland Cavaliers would later tie this mark as well in 2024. After ending their previous season with a surprising tiebreaker exit from playoff contention, the Capitols would return to the kind of greatness they had in their first season of play with a 38–22 resulting in them having the best record in the Eastern Division, which led to them making it all the way to the 1949 BAA Finals, where they ended up losing to one of the new entrants of the league, the NBL-turned-BAA's Minneapolis Lakers, 4–2. With the Capitols later folding on January 9, 1951, they would end up joining the Chicago Stags in 1947 and last season's champions in the original Baltimore Bullets ABL/BAA/NBA franchise as the only three BAA/NBA teams to have folded operations after making it to a BAA/NBA Finals championship series.
