1971–72 Memphis Pros season

The 1971–72 Memphis Pros season was the 2nd and final season of the Pros in the American Basketball Association. By the middle of the season, they were 17–25. In the second half of the season, they went 9–33, with a 10-game losing streak from February 4 to February 23 being the lowlight. In fact, the team ended the season on a nine-game losing streak. The biggest winning streak was 3, which they accomplished three times in the season. The Pros were 10th in points scored with 107.5 points per game and 6th in points allowed with 113.0 points per game. On December 11, 1971, the operation of the franchise was taken over by the league. With the team struggling financially, they were sold on June 13, 1972, to Charles O. Finley, owner of the Oakland Athletics and the Oakland Seals. Soon after they were rebranded as the Memphis Tams, while playing at the same arena as the Pros. In their first season, they lost 60 games.
