The 1992β93 NBA season was the 25th season for the Seattle SuperSonics in the National Basketball Association. [1] During the first month of the regular season, the Sonics acquired Vincent Askew from the Sacramento Kings. [2] With George Karl in his second season as the SuperSonics coach, the team won their first four games of the season, which included two victories against the Houston Rockets in their first two games overseas in Yokohama, Japan. [3] [4] [5] [6] At midseason, the team traded Benoit Benjamin and top draft pick Doug Christie to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Sam Perkins. [7] [8] [9] [10] With a 33β17 record at the All-Star break, [11] the Sonics won ten straight games between February and March, as they improved their 47β35 record from the previous season to 55β27, and reached the 1993 Playoffs as the #3 seed in the Western Conference. [12]
Shawn Kemp averaged 17.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, and was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game, which was his first All-Star appearance, [13] [14] [15] [16] while Ricky Pierce led the team in scoring averaging 18.2 points per game, and Gary Payton provided the team with 13.5 points, 4.9 assists and 2.2 steals per game. In addition, sixth man Eddie Johnson contributed 14.4 points per game off the bench, while Derrick McKey provided with 13.4 points and 1.4 steals per game, and Michael Cage led the team with 8.0 rebounds per game. [17] Payton also finished in sixth place in Most Improved Player voting, [18] while Karl finished in third place in Coach of the Year voting. [19] [20] [21]
In the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Sonics trailed 2β1 to the Utah Jazz, [22] [23] [24] but managed to defeat them in five games, [25] [26] [27] [28] then defeated the Rockets in seven games in the Western Conference Semi-finals, which included a 103β100 overtime home win in Game 7. [29] [30] [31] [32] However, the Sonics would then lose in the Western Conference finals to the Charles Barkley-led Phoenix Suns in a full seven game series. [33] [34] [35] [36] The Suns would reach the NBA Finals, but would lose to the 2-time defending champion Chicago Bulls in six games. [37] [38] [39] [40] [41]
Following the season, McKey was traded to the Indiana Pacers, [42] [43] [44] [45] and Johnson and Dana Barros were both dealt to the Charlotte Hornets, [46] [47] [48] [49] who then sent Barros to the Philadelphia 76ers two days later. [50] [51] [52] [53]

The 1992β93 NBA season was the 25th season for the Seattle SuperSonics in the National Basketball Association. [1] During the first month of the regular season, the Sonics acquired Vincent Askew from the Sacramento Kings. [2] With George Karl in his second season as the SuperSonics coach, the team won their first four games of the season, which included two victories against the Houston Rockets in their first two games overseas in Yokohama, Japan. [3] [4] [5] [6] At midseason, the team traded Benoit Benjamin and top draft pick Doug Christie to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Sam Perkins. [7] [8] [9] [10] With a 33β17 record at the All-Star break, [11] the Sonics won ten straight games between February and March, as they improved their 47β35 record from the previous season to 55β27, and reached the 1993 Playoffs as the #3 seed in the Western Conference. [12]
Shawn Kemp averaged 17.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, and was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game, which was his first All-Star appearance, [13] [14] [15] [16] while Ricky Pierce led the team in scoring averaging 18.2 points per game, and Gary Payton provided the team with 13.5 points, 4.9 assists and 2.2 steals per game. In addition, sixth man Eddie Johnson contributed 14.4 points per game off the bench, while Derrick McKey provided with 13.4 points and 1.4 steals per game, and Michael Cage led the team with 8.0 rebounds per game. [17] Payton also finished in sixth place in Most Improved Player voting, [18] while Karl finished in third place in Coach of the Year voting. [19] [20] [21]
In the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Sonics trailed 2β1 to the Utah Jazz, [22] [23] [24] but managed to defeat them in five games, [25] [26] [27] [28] then defeated the Rockets in seven games in the Western Conference Semi-finals, which included a 103β100 overtime home win in Game 7. [29] [30] [31] [32] However, the Sonics would then lose in the Western Conference finals to the Charles Barkley-led Phoenix Suns in a full seven game series. [33] [34] [35] [36] The Suns would reach the NBA Finals, but would lose to the 2-time defending champion Chicago Bulls in six games. [37] [38] [39] [40] [41]
Following the season, McKey was traded to the Indiana Pacers, [42] [43] [44] [45] and Johnson and Dana Barros were both dealt to the Charlotte Hornets, [46] [47] [48] [49] who then sent Barros to the Philadelphia 76ers two days later. [50] [51] [52] [53]
