The 1973–74 ABA season was the seventh and final season for the Denver Rockets before their name change in preparation for the merger with the NBA, which had a team called the Rockets. They ended up with a 37–47 record, but it was not enough for a playoff spot, due to losing a one-game playoff to the San Diego Conquistadors on March 29, 1974, 131–111. Subsequently, the team was rechristened the Denver Nuggets before the next season started.
