The 1974–75 Virginia Squires season was the 5th season of the Squires in the American Basketball Association. The Squires, having sold talents such as Julius Erving and George Gervin in previous years in order to keep afloat, simply imploded with a lack of talent, losing 69 games, the worst in ABA history. Their longest winning streak was 3 games, from January 31 to February 3, 1975. At one point, they lost 15 straight games, from December 30, 1974 to January 26, 1975. The only victory they scored in March 1975 was their final victory as the team lost eight straight to close out the season. The team finished last in points per game at 99.0, with a middling 6th in points allowed with 109.5 per game.[1]
