One other lesser known fact about this season is that the Bullets were the very last NBA team to ever lose to the Washington Capitols before they ended up folding operations on January 9, 1951; following a 83–71 victory Baltimore had against Washington in their home arena on New Year's Day of 1951, the Bullets would end up losing against the Capitols in Washington 92–82 two days later on January 3, officially marking their tenth win of the season and the final victory the Washington Capitols franchise would ever have in the NBA.
