1993–94 Indiana Pacers season

The 1993–94 NBA season was the 18th season for the Indiana Pacers in the National Basketball Association, and their 27th season as a franchise.^[1] During the off-season, the Pacers made several changes as the team hired Larry Brown as their new head coach,^[2][3][4] acquired Derrick McKey from the Seattle SuperSonics,^[5][6][7] and signed free agent Haywoode Workman, who previously played overseas in Italy.^[8][9] Rookie power forward Antonio Davis from the University of Texas-El Paso, who was drafted by the Pacers with the 45th overall pick in the 1990 NBA draft, but went to play overseas in Greece and Italy, made his debut in the NBA this season.^[10][11] In December, the team signed free agent Byron Scott, who won championships with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1980s.^[12][13][14]

The Pacers got off to a rough start by losing six of their first seven games of the regular season, then later lost five straight games in December leading to a 10–16 start. However, the team posted a 7-game winning streak between January and February, and held a 23–23 record at the All-Star break.^[15] By winning their final eight games of the season, the Pacers finished in third place in the Central Division with a 47–35 record, earned the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, and qualified for the NBA playoffs for the fifth consecutive year.^[16]

Reggie Miller averaged 19.9 points and 1.5 steals per game, and led the Pacers with 123 three-point field goals, while Rik Smits averaged 15.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, and McKey provided the team with 12.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. In addition, Dale Davis averaged 11.7 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, and finished tied in fourth place in Most Improved Player voting,^[17][18] while Scott contributed 10.4 points per game off the bench as the team's sixth man, and Pooh Richardson provided with 10.0 points and 6.4 assists per game, but only played just 37 games due to calf and shoulder injuries.^[19][20][21]

Meanwhile, Workman became the team's starting point guard in Richardson's absence, averaging 7.7 points and 6.2 assists per game, while off the bench, Antonio Davis averaged 7.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, second-year guard Malik Sealy contributed 6.6 points per game, but only played just 43 games due to injury, and Vern Fleming provided with 6.5 points and 3.1 assists per game.^[22]

In the Eastern Conference First Round of the 1994 NBA playoffs, the Pacers swept the 4th-seeded Orlando Magic in three straight games, winning their first ever NBA playoff series since joining the NBA.^[23][24][25] The Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Semi-finals, and upset the top-seeded Atlanta Hawks in six games to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.^[26][27][28]

In the Conference Finals, the Pacers were challenging the heavily favored New York Knicks; the Pacers dropped the first two games in New York. Upon arriving in Indiana, the Pacers were able to win the next two games.^[29] In Game 5, Miller scored 25 points in the 4th quarter; in the process, he mocked Knicks fan and film director Spike Lee.^[30][31][32] The Pacers returned to Indiana for Game 6 with the opportunity to win the Eastern Conference Title. The Pacers would end up losing Game 6, and were forced to return to Madison Square Garden for Game 7. With the home court advantage, the Knicks would eliminate the Pacers.^[33][34][35] The Knicks would reach the 1994 NBA Finals, but would lose in seven games to the Houston Rockets.^[36][37][38]

Following the season, Richardson and Sealy, who both did not participate in the playoffs due to season-ending injuries, were both traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.^[39][40][41]
