Brad Daugherty led the team averaging 20.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, while Mark Price averaged 18.2 points and led the team with 8.0 assists per game, and was named to the All-NBA First Team, and Larry Nance averaged 16.5 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, and was named to the NBA 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 man Hot Rod Williams provided with 11.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game off the bench.^[10]

Daugherty, Price and Nance were all selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game.^{[11][12][13][14]} Price also won the Three-Point Shootout during the All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah,^[15][16][17] and finished tied in eighth place in Most Valuable Player voting,^[18][19][20] while head coach Lenny Wilkens finished in eighth place in Coach of the Year voting.^[21][22][23]

In the Eastern Conference First Round, the Cavaliers defeated the New Jersey Nets in five games,^{[24][25][26][27]} but were swept in four straight games by the 2-time defending champion Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals.^{[28][29][30][31]} The Bulls would go on to defeat the Phoenix Suns in six games in the NBA Finals, winning their third consecutive championship.^{[32][33][34][35][36]} Following the season, Wilkens resigned and took a coaching job with the Atlanta Hawks,^[37][38][39] while Ehlo signed as a free agent with the Hawks,^[40][41][42] and Mike Sanders retired.

A forgotten highlight of the season was a game between the Cavaliers, and the Indiana Pacers at Market 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.^[43][44][45]

Until 2024, this was the last time the Cavaliers won a playoff series without future All-Star LeBron James, who was selected by the team as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft.
