The Golden State Warriors entered the Finals after finishing first in the Western Conference of the regular season,1974-75. Washington Bullets who were tied with the Celtics for the best record in the league with 60-22 were playing under KC Jones' coaching.

While everyone expected Bullets' Center Elvin Hayes and 5-time NBA All-Star Wes Unseld to dominate, it was Rick Barry whose heroics led the Warriors to their third NBA Championship.

Rick Barry was rightly adjudged the finals MVP as Warriors swept the Bullets. This was Bullets' second Finals sweep and the first after moving to Washington from Baltimore.
