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 overseas 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]
Hakeem Olajuwon averaged 26.1 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 4.2 blocks per game, and was named Defensive Player of the Year,[18][19][20] and was named to the All-NBA First Team, NBA All-Defensive First Team, and was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game.[21][22][23][24] He also finished in second place in Most Valuable Player voting behind Charles Barkley of the Phoenix Suns.[25][26][27][28][29] In addition, Vernon Maxwell averaged 13.8 points per game, while Kenny Smith contributed 13.0 points and 5.4 assists per game, Otis Thorpe provided the team with 12.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, and Horry averaged 10.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game, and was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.[30] Head coach Rudy Tomjanovich finished in second place in Coach of the Year voting.[31][32][33][34]
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 at HemisFair Arena on April 25, 1993, with the Rockets leading by two points in the final seconds, until Spurs All-Star center David Robinson tip-dunked a missed shot after time expired; 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,[43][44][45][46] and ended up losing the decisive Game 7 in overtime, 103–100 at Seattle.[39][40][41][42]
Following the season, Sleepy Floyd signed as a free agent with the San Antonio Spurs,[47][48] and Teagle was released to free agency.
