The 1992-93 NBA season was the 25th season for the Phoenix Suns in the National Basketball Association. During the offseason, the Suns acquired All-Star forward Charles Barkley from the Philadelphia 76ers, and signed free agent Danny Ainge. The Suns had a successful season posting a 14-game winning streak in December which led them to a 21-4 start, then posted an 11-game winning streak between March and April to finish with an NBA-best 62-20 record. The team set the franchise record for most wins in a season (the record was later tied in the 2004-05 season). Barkley won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award and led the team to its second trip to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Chicago Bulls in six games. In the first round of the playoffs, the Suns faced elimination as they trailed 2-0 against the 8th-seeded Los Angeles Lakers. However, they won the next three games to advance in the semifinals, where they defeated the San Antonio Spurs in six games. In the Western Conference Finals, they defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in a full seven game series on their way to the Finals before losing in six games to the Bulls. The season saw the debut of the new Streaking Sun logo, which was featured on the team's new jerseys. The new logo and uniforms would last until 2000. The season was also the Suns first at the new America West Arena (later renamed US Airways Center). The new arena had a regular season attendance of 779,943 in 41 home games, the fifth highest total attendance in the league.
