The 1993–94 NBA season was the 48th season for the Knicks in the National Basketball Association 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^[update].

During the offseason, the Knicks signed free agent Anthony Bonner. The team got off to a fast start winning their first seven games. However, they would lose Doc Rivers for the rest of the season with a knee injury after just 19 games. At midseason, the Knicks traded Tony Campbell to the Dallas Mavericks for Derek Harper to fill in the void left by Rivers. Despite the injuries, the Knicks had another successful season posting a 15-game winning streak late in the season, including a 14–0 record in March finishing first place in the Atlantic Division with a 57–25 record. The Knicks earned the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference. 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 faced the Chicago Bulls who were without their star player Michael Jordan, and defeated them in a full seven game series. In the Eastern Conference Finals, they defeated Reggie Miller and 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 after taking a 3–2 series lead. Following the season, Rolando Blackman was released and then retired.
