The 1992–93 NBA season was the Rockets' 26th season in the NBA, and 22nd season in Houston. The Rockets finished first place in the Midwest Division with a 55–27 record. In the first round of the playoffs, they defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in five games, but lost seven to the Seattle SuperSonics in the semifinals. 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 with the Rockets leading by 2 in the final seconds, until David Robinson tip-dunked a missed shot after time expired. It was ruled good, and the Rockets went on to lose in overtime, tying their record with Seattle, and losing home court advantage due to their match-up tiebreaker against the Sonics, and ended up losing the decisive Game 7 in overtime at Seattle. Following the season, Sleepy Floyd signed as a free agent with the San Antonio Spurs.
