The1992–93 Cleveland Cavaliers season was the 23rd season for theCleveland Cavaliers in theNational Basketball Association.^[1] During the off-season, the Cavaliers signed free agentGerald Wilkins,^[2]^[3]^[4] and later on tradedSteve Kerr to theOrlando Magic in exchange for a second-round draft pick, during the first month of the regular season.^[5]^[6]^[7]

The Cavaliers struggled with an 8–11 start to the season, but then played above .500 inwinning percentage, by posting a 7-game winning streak afterwards in December. The Cavs also had a 12–1 record in February, held a 34–19 record at the All-Star break,^[8] then posted a ten-game winning streak in April, finishing in second place in theCentral Division with a 54–28 record, and earning the third seed in theEastern Conference; the team also posted a very successful 35–6 home record at theColiseum at Richfield during the regular season.^[9]

Brad Daugherty led the team with 20.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, whileMark Price averaged 18.2 points and 8.0 assists per game, led the Cavaliers with 122 three-point field goals, and was named to theAll-NBA First Team, andLarry Nance averaged 16.5 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, and was named to theNBA All-Defensive Second Team. In addition,Craig Ehlo provided the team with 11.6 points per game, while Wilkins contributed 11.1 points per game, and sixth manHot Rod Williams provided with 11.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game off the bench. Meanwhile, starting small forwardMike Sanders contributed 8.6 points per game, while also off the bench, second-year guardTerrell Brandon contributed 8.8 points and 3.7 assists per game, andDanny Ferry averaged 7.5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.^[10]

During theNBA All-Star weekend at theDelta Center inSalt Lake City, Utah, Daugherty, Price and Nance were all selected for the1993 NBA All-Star Game, as members of the Eastern Conference All-Star team; it was the fifth and final All-Star appearance for Daugherty, and the third and final appearance for Nance.^[11]^[12]^[13] In addition, Price also won theNBA Three-Point Shootout.^[14]^[12]^[15] Price also finished tied in eighth place inMost Valuable Player voting, while Daugherty finished tied in tenth place,^[16]^[17] and head coachLenny Wilkens finished in eighth place inCoach of the Year voting.^[18]^[17]

In the Eastern Conference First Round of the1993 NBA playoffs, and for the second consecutive year, the Cavaliers faced off against the 6th–seededNew Jersey Nets, a team that featuredDražen Petrović,Derrick Coleman andChris Morris. The Nets were without second-year starKenny Anderson, who was out due to a season-ending wrist injury. The Cavaliers took a 2–1 series lead, before losing Game 4 to the Nets on the road, 96–79 at theBrendan Byrne Arena. With the series tied at 2–2, the Cavaliers won Game 5 over the Nets at home, 99–89 at the Coliseum at Richfield to win in a hard-fought five-game series.^[19]^[20]^[21]

In the Eastern Conference Semi-finals, and also for the second consecutive year, the team faced off against the 2nd–seeded, and 2-time defending NBA championChicago Bulls, who won the Central Division title, and were led by the trio of All-Star guardMichael Jordan, All-Star forwardScottie Pippen, andHorace Grant. The Cavaliers lost the first two games to the Bulls on the road at theChicago Stadium, and then lost their next two home games. In Game 4 at the Coliseum at Richfield, Jordan hit another game-winning buzzer-beater against the Cavaliers; the Bulls won the game, 103–101, as the Cavaliers lost the series in a four-game sweep.^[22]^[23]^[24] The Bulls would go on to defeat thePhoenix Suns in six games in the1993 NBA Finals, winning their third consecutive NBA championship.^[25]^[26]^[27]

The Cavaliers finished eighth in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 751,465 at the Coliseum at Richfield during the regular season.^[10]^[28] Following the season, Wilkens resigned and took a coaching job with theAtlanta Hawks,^[29]^[30]^[31] while Ehlo signed as a free agent with the Hawks,^[32]^[33]^[34] and Sanders retired. A forgotten highlight of the regular season was a game between the Cavaliers, and theIndiana Pacers at theMarket Square Arena on January 15, 1993; after trailing to the Pacers at halftime, 64–49, the Cavaliers rallied and set a franchise record by scoring 83 points in the second half to win the game, 132–120.^[35]^[36]^[37]

Until2024, this was the last time the Cavaliers won a playoff series without future All-StarLeBron James, who was selected by the team as the first overall pick in the2003 NBA draft.
