NBA professional basketball team season
The
1977β78
Seattle SuperSonics season was the 11th season of the franchise in the
National Basketball Association (NBA). With a disappointing 5β17 start, the Sonics replaced coach
Bob Hopkins with future Hall of Famer
Lenny Wilkens, who led the team to a 47β35 finish. In the playoffs, the SuperSonics defeated the
Los Angeles Lakers in three games in the First Round, then upset the defending NBA champions
Portland Trail Blazers in six games in the
Western Conference semifinals, before finally defeating the
Denver Nuggets in six games in the conference finals, making their first trip to the
NBA Finals in franchise history, where they lost the series to the
Washington Bullets in 7 games.
