The 1992–93 NBA season was the Rockets' 26th season in the National Basketball Association, and 22nd season in Houston.[1] After missing the playoffs the previous year, the Rockets selected Robert Horry from the University of Alabama with the eleventh overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft.[2][3][4][5] During the off-season, the team acquired Scott Brooks from the Minnesota Timberwolves.[6][7] For the season opener, the Rockets traveled to Yokohama, Japan to play their first two games against the Seattle SuperSonics.[8][9][10][11] The Rockets got off to a 14–9 start to the season, but then struggled posting a 7-game losing streak between December and January. However, they won eight consecutive games afterwards, and held a 30–21 record at the All-Star break.[12] The Rockets went 25–6 for the remainder of the season, posting a 15-game winning streak between February and March,[13][14] and then posting an 11-game winning streak in April, as the team signed free agent Terry Teagle, who played in the final two games of the regular season.[15][16] The Rockets finished first place in the Midwest Division with a 55–27 record.[17]
In the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Rockets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in five games,[35][36][37][38] but lost in seven to the SuperSonics in the Western Conference Semi-finals.[39][40][41][42] A notable note about the Rockets' playoff run that year was the final game of the regular season. The Rockets were playing against the San Antonio Spurs on the road on April 25, with the Rockets leading by 2 in the final seconds, until David Robinson tip-dunked a missed shot after time expired.[43][44] It was ruled good, and the Rockets went on to lose in overtime 119–117, tying their record with Seattle, and losing home court advantage due to their match-up tie-breaker against the Sonics in the second round, and ended up losing the decisive Game 7 in overtime, 103–100 at Seattle.[39][40][41][42]
