1992–93 New York Knicks season

The 1992–93 New York Knicks season was the 47th season for the Knicks in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] During the offseason, the Knicks acquired Charles D. Smith, Doc Rivers and Bo Kimble from the Los Angeles Clippers.[2] Other acquisitions included Rolando Blackman from the Dallas Mavericks,[3] Tony Campbell from the Minnesota Timberwolves,[4] and free agent Herb Williams.[5] The Knicks finished the season by winning 24 of their final 28 games, including a nine-game winning streak in March and five straight victories to end the season.[6] The team had the most wins in the Eastern Conference during the regular season; their 60–22 record earned them the conference's top seed in the 1993 NBA Playoffs.[7] They also posted a 37–4 home record at Madison Square Garden.[6] Head coach Pat Riley was named Coach of The Year,[8] and Patrick Ewing was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game.[7]

In the opening round of the playoffs, the Knicks defeated the Indiana Pacers, three games to one, and advanced to the conference semifinals. The Knicks won their series with the 5th-seeded Charlotte Hornets in five games and gained a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals,[7] where they faced the Chicago Bulls, who had eliminated the Knicks from the playoffs in three of the previous four years.[9] After taking a 2–0 series lead, New York lost the next four games to end its season.[7]
