1952-53 Indianapolis Olympians (NBA)

1952-53 INDIANAPOLIS OLYMPIANS
NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION
Western Division
Finished: 28-43 .394, 4th place

Division Semifinals - Lost to Minneapolis, 2-0

Indianapolis has hoping to build on the previous season's gains, but got off to a slow start and never recovered. They managed to sneak into the playoffs with a victory over the Hawks on the last day of the season, finishing one game ahead of the afore-mentioned Hawks. They were quickly dispatched in the opening round of the playoffs by Minneapolis, but fought hard in game two before falling, 81-79.  Drawing very poorly at the gate, the Olympians folded after the season.

  1. I can typically watch the game guide from the NBA2K21MT.COM website. It's in-depth and also extremely helpful. I can obtain some NBA 2K21 MT or various other required video game products from here. Quickly, I played efficiently, and also it was invincible.
