Division Semifinals - Lost to Minneapolis, 2-1
The Royals enjoyed their sixth-straight season with a winning percentage over .600. They battled tough with their divisional nemesis, Minneapolis, before losing in the finals, but with the Lakers winning the title again, a Western Division had won seven straight NBA title, including the Royals just a three years ago. This season would mark the end of the Royals prominence, however,. They would have a losing season the next three campaigns before the franchise moves to Cincinnati.
