Let's assume the number of games the team lost is x.
The number of games they won would then be x + 34.
Since they played a total of 74 games, we can write the equation:
x + (x + 34) = 74
Combining like terms:
2x + 34 = 74
Subtracting 34 from both sides:
2x = 40
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 20
So the team lost 20 games and won 20 + 34 = <<20+34=54>>54 games. Answer: \boxed{54}.
