Why is "1970–71 Virginia Squires season" trending?

Wikipedia Overview

The 1970–71 Virginia Squires season was the fourth season of the franchise and the first season for the state of Virginia in the American Basketball Association. After two seasons played as the Oakland Oaks and one season played as the Washington Caps, owner Earl Foreman was convinced by the ABA to move his team from Washington, D.C. to the nearby state of Virginia. Like the Carolina Cougars before them and both "The Floridians" and Texas Chaparrals alongside them at the time, the Squires played their games as a regional franchise, primarily playing games in the cities of Norfolk, Hampton and Richmond, with Salem and Roanoke having occasional games as well. The Squires started play there on October 17, 1970, in the city of Norfolk, winning 133–116 over the Pittsburgh Condors. They then proceeded to win their next five games while having a 30–12 first half of the season, which was highlighted by a seven-game winning streak along the way. However, they then went 25–17 in the second half of the season, though they never lost more than two games in a row throughout the regular season. They finished the season first in points scored at 123.3 per game and 7th in points allowed at 119.7 per game. In the 1971 ABA Playoffs, they beat their new stateside rivals in the Kentucky Colonels in six games to advance to the Eastern Division Finals, but they were beaten in six games themselves by the New York Nets, who would lose the championship series to the Utah Stars that year.
