The Blazers finished the season with a 51–31 record, third in the Pacific Division and fourth in the Western Conference. It was their 11th straight trip to the postseason. Clifford Robinson was named Sixth Man of The Year averaging 19.1 points per game off the bench, and Terry Porter was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game along with Drexler.
