The 1991-92 NBA season was the 24th season for the Seattle SuperSonics in the National Basketball Association. After a 7-3 start to the season, head coach K. C. Jones was fired with the team holding an 18-18 record. After splitting four games under interim coach Bob Kloppenburg, the Sonics hired George Karl, who returned after a four-year absence from coaching in the NBA. Under Karl, the SuperSonics finished the season fourth in the Pacific Division with a 47-35 record, reaching the playoffs as the number 6 seed in the Western Conference. Ricky Pierce led the team in scoring averaging 21.7 points per game in his first full season with the Sonics. In the first round, they defeated the 3rd-seeded Golden State Warriors in four games, winning the final two games by just four points. However, they lost the conference semifinals to the Utah Jazz in five games.
