Wikipedia Overview
The 1950–51 Washington Capitols season was the Capitols' fifth and final season in the NBA. Midway through the season, the franchise ceased operations. Despite this being their final season in the NBA, the Capitols would appear in the following season after this one under the original American Basketball League, though that team would also fold during the middle of that season as well. One lesser known, yet notable aspect from this season had the Capitols be involved in multiple rigged games orchestrated by NBA referee Sol Levy, with Levy failing to rig a match between the Capitols and the Minneapolis Lakers on November 4 to favor the Capitols, but successfully rig a match against the Boston Celtics to have Boston win a week later on November 11, which later led to Levy being arrested for his actions and charged as an accomplice in the CCNY point-shaving scandal of 1951.
