1992–93 Boston Celtics season


The 1992–93 NBA season was the 47th season for the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association.
This marked the first season since the 1978–79 season that Hall of Fame player Larry Bird was not on the team. This was also the final season for longtime Celtics All-Star forward Kevin McHale, as he would retire the following offseason. During the offseason, the Celtics signed free agent All-Star forward Xavier McDaniel. However, the team got off to a bad start losing eight of their first ten games, but would post a nine-game winning streak in March to finish second in the Atlantic Division with a solid 48–34 record. The Celtics held home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs against the 5th-seeded Charlotte Hornets, but during Game 1 of the series, All-Star forward Reggie Lewis collapsed on the court. Boston held on to win Game 1, but lost the next three games, and thus the series.
