After a season playing as the Brooklyn Celtics, the team went back to its original name and continued to be a powerhouse. They rolled to a 40-9 season, and lost only once in the playoffs on their way to the ABL title. The team kept the same nucleus as the year before, with the addition of Joe Dreyfus. Even coach Whitty came out of retirement to play in a handful of games.
