The 1985–86 NBA season was the Kings' 37th season in the NBA and 1st in Sacramento following its relocation from Kansas City. The Kings played their home games at the original ARCO Arena, and finished the season with a record of 37 wins and 45 losses, placing them fifth in the Midwest Division and seventh in the Western Conference. They made the playoffs, but were quickly eliminated in the first-round in three straight games by the eventual Western Conference champion Houston Rockets.
