# 1991–92 Seattle SuperSonics season

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 held a 24–24 record at the All-Star break, and 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, while sixth man Eddie Johnson averaged 17.1 points per game off the bench, and Shawn Kemp played most of the season off the bench averaging 15.5 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. In addition, Derrick McKey provided the team with 14.9 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, but only played 52 games due to a thumb injury, while Benoit Benjamin provided with 14.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, only playing 63 games due to a broken hand, second-year guard Gary Payton contributed 9.4 points, 6.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and Michael Cage averaged 8.8 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.
In the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs, the SuperSonics defeated the 3rd-seeded Golden State Warriors in four games, winning the final two games by just four points. However, they lost in the Western Conference Semi-finals to the Utah Jazz in five games.
