The 1993–94 New York Knicks season was the 48th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association. This marked the last season in which the Knicks (and all other MSG properties) were owned by Paramount Communications (formerly Gulf+Western), which was sold near the end of the season to Viacom, which in turn sold them to ITT Corporation and Cablevision. A couple of years later, ITT would sell their share to Cablevision. The Knicks' owner, The Madison Square Garden Company, is a spin-off of Cablevision. During the off-season, the team signed free agent Anthony Bonner.

The Knicks got off to a fast start by winning their first seven games of the regular season. However, they would lose Doc Rivers for the remainder of the season to a knee injury after only just 19 games, while Charles D. Smith and second-year guard Hubert Davis also missed parts of the season with injuries. At mid-season, the Knicks traded Tony Campbell to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Derek Harper, who filled in the void left by Rivers at the point guard position. Despite the injuries, the Knicks had another successful season holding a 34–14 record at the All-Star break, and then posting a 15-game winning streak late in the season, including a 14–0 record in March, finishing in first place in the Atlantic Division with a 57–25 record, and earning the second seed in the Eastern Conference.

Patrick Ewing had a stellar season averaging 24.5 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game, but was not named to an All-NBA Team at season's end, while John Starks averaged 19.0 points, 5.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game, and also led the Knicks with 113 three-point field goals, but only played 59 games due to a knee injury, which forced him to miss the remainder of the regular season, and Charles Oakley provided the team with 11.8 points and rebounds per game each, contributed 1.3 steals per game, and was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team. In addition, Davis contributed 11.0 points per game in 56 games, while Smith provided with 10.4 points per game in 43 games, and Greg Anthony contributed 7.9 points, 4.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Meanwhile, Rivers averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, Rolando Blackman contributed 7.3 points per game off the bench, sixth man Anthony Mason averaged 7.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game also off the bench, and Bonner provided with 5.1 points and 4.7 rebounds per game.

During the NBA All-Star weekend at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Ewing, Starks and Oakley were all selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game, as members of the Eastern Conference All-Star team; it was the first and only All-Star appearance for both Starks and Oakley. Ewing also finished in fifth place in Most Valuable Player voting, while Oakley finished in ninth place in Defensive Player of the Year voting, Mason finished tied in sixth place in Sixth Man of the Year voting, and head coach Pat Riley finished tied in fifth place in Coach of the Year voting.

In the Eastern Conference First Round of the 1994 NBA playoffs, the Knicks faced off against the 7th–seeded New Jersey Nets, a team that featured All-Star forward Derrick Coleman, All-Star guard Kenny Anderson, and Kevin Edwards. The Knicks won the first two games over the Nets at home at Madison Square Garden, before losing Game 3 on the road in overtime, 93–92 at the Brendan Byrne Arena. The Knicks defeated the Nets in Game 4 on the road, 102–92 to win the series in four games.

In the Eastern Conference Semi-finals, the team faced off against the 3rd–seeded, and 3-time defending NBA champion Chicago Bulls for the fourth consecutive year; All-Star guard Michael Jordan had retired prior to the season to pursue a baseball career, as the Bulls were now led by the All-Star trio of Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant and B.J. Armstrong. The Knicks won the first two games over the Bulls at Madison Square Garden, before losing the next two games on the road at the Chicago Stadium. The Knicks won Game 5 at home, 87–86, but then lost Game 6 on the road, 93–79 as the Bulls tied the series at 3–3. The Knicks won Game 7 over the Bulls at Madison Square Garden, 87–77, thus winning in a hard-fought seven-game series.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, and for the second consecutive year, the Knicks faced off against the 5th–seeded Indiana Pacers, who were led by Reggie Miller, Rik Smits and Derrick McKey. The Knicks won the first two games over the Pacers at Madison Square Garden. However, the team lost the next three games to the Pacers, losing the next two road games at the Market Square Arena, and then losing Game 5 at home, 93–86 as the Pacers took a 3–2 series lead. However, the Knicks managed to win the next two games, including a Game 7 win over the Pacers at Madison Square Garden, 94–90 to win the series in another hard-fought seven games, and advance to the NBA Finals.

In the 1994 NBA Finals, the Knicks faced off against the Houston Rockets, a team that featured All-Star center, Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year, Hakeem Olajuwon, Otis Thorpe and Vernon Maxwell. The Rockets took a 2–1 series lead, but the Knicks then won the next two games at Madison Square Garden, winning Game 5 over the Rockets at home, 91–84 to take a 3–2 series lead. However, the Knicks lost the next two games on the road, including a Game 7 loss to the Rockets at the The Summit, 90–84, thus losing in a hard-fought seven-game series. In the 1994 playoffs, the Knicks set the record for most games allowing under 95, and under 100 points, in one playoff run. Opponents were held to under 95 and 100 points in 23 and 24 games, respectively.

The Knicks finished fourth in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 810,193 at Madison Square Garden during the regular season. Following the season, Blackman was released to free agency.
