1993–94 New York Knicks season
The 1993–94 New York Knicks season was the 48th season of NBA basketball in New York City. This marked the last season in which the Knicks (and all other MSG properties) were owned by Paramount Communications (formerly Gulf+Western), which was sold near the end of the season to Viacom, which in turn sold them to ITT Corporation and Cablevision. A couple of years later, ITT would sell their share to Cablevision, who still owns the Knicks today.
During the offseason, the Knicks signed free agent Anthony Bonner.[1] With Doc Rivers out for the rest of the season with a knee injury after just 19 games, the Knicks acquired Derek Harper from the Dallas Mavericks to fill the void left by Rivers.[2] Despite the injuries, the Knicks had another successful season posting a 15-game winning streak late in the season finishing first place in the Atlantic Division with a 57–25 record. Three members of the team, Patrick Ewing, John Starks and Charles Oakley were all selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks defeated the New Jersey Nets in the four games. In the semifinals, they defeated the Chicago Bulls in a full seven game series. In the Eastern Conference Finals, they defeated the 5th-seeded Indiana Pacers in another full seven game series. The Knicks advanced to the 1994 NBA Finals, but would lose in seven games to the Houston Rockets. Following the season, Rolando Blackman was released and then retired.[3]
