The 1963–64 NBA season was the Bullets' 3rd season in the NBA and 1st season in the city of Baltimore.[1] This is also the first season where the NBA returned to Baltimore since the early parts of the 1954–55 season, when the original iteration of the Baltimore Bullets (that's not related to this team) folded their team on November 27, 1954.
