The 1992–93 Cleveland Cavaliers season was the 23rd season of NBA basketball in Cleveland, Ohio.^[1] During the offseason, the Cavaliers signed free agent Gerald Wilkins. The Cavaliers finished the season with a 54–28 record, finishing 2nd in the Central Division. Mark Price led the team in assists and was named to the All-NBA 1st team. Price, Brad Daugherty and Larry Nance were all selected to the 1993 NBA All-Star Game. A forgotten highlight of this season is when the Cavaliers set a franchise record by scoring 83 points in a half. On January 15, 1993, the visiting Cavs trailed the Indiana Pacers 64–49. Behind 17 points in 21 minutes by reserve guard John Battle, Cleveland rallied to win 132–120. The Cavs also had a 12–1 record in February.

In the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, the Cavaliers defeated the New Jersey Nets in five games, but were swept in four straight games by the Chicago Bulls in the semifinals. Following the season, Lenny Wilkens left to coach the Atlanta Hawks while Craig Ehlo went along with him signing as a free agent with the Hawks.
