History of the Falcons

The Detroit Falcons were a professional basketball team based in Detroit. It played in the 1946 - 1947 season in the Basketball Association of America, a predecessor organization to the National Basketball Association. The team folded after one season, leaving the Motor City without a professional basketball team until a decade later when the Fort Wayne Pistons moved there.
