The Rockets are based in Houston, Texas. The team plays in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference in the NBA. The team was founded as San Diego Rockets in 1967 and played in San Diego, California for four years, before moving to Houston in 1971. They made their first appearance in the playoffs in 1969. In 1981 NBA Finals were the Rockets defeated by Boston Celtics. The Rockets stormed all the way to the 1994 NBA Finals to the first championship against the New York Knicks. The team repeated as champions in 1995 with a memorable run and sweeping the favored Orlando Magic. After winning two championships, the Rockets traded away most of the championship team, changed their championship uniforms, and, to date, have not advanced to the finals again.
