1991–92 Cleveland Cavaliers season
The 1991–92 NBA season was the 22nd season of the National Basketball Association in Cleveland, Ohio.[1] During the off-season, the Cavaliers signed free agent John Battle,[2][3] then later on re-signed former Cavs forward Mike Sanders in March after being released by the Indiana Pacers.[4][5] 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, and held a 31–14 record at the All-Star break.[6] The Cavaliers finished the season 2nd in the Central Division with a 57–25 record,[7] 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 second largest margin of victory of any game defeating the Miami Heat at home, 148–80 (68 points).[8][9][10]
