The 1991–92 NBA season was the 22nd season of the National Basketball Association in Cleveland, Ohio.[1] During the offseason, the Cavaliers signed unrestricted free agent John Battle. After two straight seasons of injuries, the Cavaliers would finally play the entire season without any significant loss of manpower. After a 13–9 start to the season, the team posted an 11-game winning streak, finishing the season 2nd in the Central Division with a 57–25 record, and tying the franchise high set in the 1988–89 season. On December 17 1991, the Cavaliers set an NBA record by winning with the largest margin of victory of any game defeating the Miami Heat 148-80 (68 points).Mark Price and Brad Daugherty were both selected for the 1992 NBA All-Star Game and named to the All-NBA Third Team. In the first round of the playoffs, the Cavaliers defeated the New Jersey Nets in the four games, then in the semifinals defeated Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics in a full seven game series. However, in the Eastern Conference Finals, they would lose to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls four games to two.[2]
