1992–93 Seattle SuperSonics season
The 1992–93 NBA season was the 25th season for the Seattle SuperSonics in the National Basketball Association.[1] With George Karl in its 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 in Tokyo, Japan.[2] As the season progressed, they won ten straight games between February and March, as they improved their 47–35 record from the previous season to 55–27, and reached the 1993 Playoffs as the #3 seed in the Western Conference. Transactions included acquiring Vincent Askew from the Sacramento Kings early into the season, and trading Benoit Benjamin at midseason to the Los Angeles Lakers for Sam Perkins.[3] Shawn Kemp made his first All-Star appearance as he was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Sonics defeated the Utah Jazz in five games after trailing 2–1, then defeated the Rockets in seven games in the semifinals, which included a 103–100 overtime win in Game 7. However, the Sonics would then lose in the Western Conference Finals to the Charles Barkley-led Phoenix Suns in a full seven game series. Following the season, Derrick McKey was traded to the Indiana Pacers, and Eddie Johnson and Dana Barros were both dealt to the Charlotte Hornets, who then sent Barros to the Philadelphia 76ers two days later.
