1992–93 Atlanta Hawks season

The 1992–93 NBA season was the Hawks' 44th season in the National Basketball Association, and 25th season in Atlanta.[1] The Hawks had the tenth pick in the 1992 NBA draft, and selected Adam Keefe out of Stanford University.[2] During the off-season, the team acquired Mookie Blaylock from the New Jersey Nets.[3] Despite having Dominique Wilkins back after missing most of the previous year with a ruptured Achilles tendon, the Hawks lost five of their first seven games, but managed to defeat the defending champion Chicago Bulls on the road, 100–99 at the Chicago Stadium on November 7.[4] As the season progressed, the team continued to struggle playing below 500. for the first half of the season, holding a 26–31 record as of March 4. However, the Hawks would win 12 of their next 13 games while posting a 12–3 record in March, on their way to finishing fourth in the Central Division with a 43–39 record.[5]

Wilkins surpassed Bob Pettit as the Hawks all-time scoring leader, finishing second in the league in scoring averaging 29.9 points, plus contributing 6.8 rebounds per game. He was named to the All-NBA Second Team, was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game,[6] and finished in fifth place in Most Valuable Player voting.[7] In addition, Kevin Willis averaged 17.9 points and 12.9 rebounds per game, while Blaylock provided the team with 13.4 points, 8.4 assists and 2.5 steals per game, second-year guard Stacey Augmon contributed 14.0 points per game, and Duane Ferrell provided with 10.2 points per game off the bench.[8]

However, in the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Hawks were swept by the Bulls in three straight games.[9] This was Wilkins' final full season with the Hawks before being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers midway through the following season.[10] Also, following the season, head coach Bob Weiss was fired and took over as Clippers head coach to replaced Larry Brown, who resigned by Clippers with Weiss fired by the Hawks and replaced by head coach Lenny Wilkens, and Travis Mays was released to free agency.

For the season, the Hawks changed their uniforms, which remained in use until 1995.[11][12]
