Brooklyn Nets » 1991/92 (Sports Team Season)

The 1991–92 New Jersey Nets season was the Nets' 25th season in the National Basketball Association, and 16th season in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Nets selected point guard Kenny Anderson out of Georgia Tech with the second pick in the 1991 NBA draft. However, Anderson held out early due to injury, and the Nets struggled losing 11 of their first 13 games, but after a 7–18 start, they managed to win nine of their next twelve games. With Anderson coming off the bench, the Nets finished third in the Atlantic Division with a 40–42 record. Dražen Petrović led the team in scoring averaging 20.6 points per game. The club qualified for the playoffs, but were eliminated in the first round by the Cleveland Cavaliers in four games. Following the season, Mookie Blaylock was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, second-year forward Terry Mills signed as a free agent with the Detroit Pistons, and head coach Bill Fitch was fired after clashing with his young stars.
