The 1991-92 NBA season was the Warriors' 46th season in the NBA and 29th in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1] On November 1, 1991, Run TMC was broken up when Golden State traded Mitch Richmond and Les Jepsen to the Sacramento Kings for 6-foot-9-inch (2.06 m) rookie Billy Owens, whose additional height compared to Richmond was the size that coach Don Nelson believed would complete the team.[2][3][4] Nelson said he "was under pressure to get [the team] bigger" to improve the Warriors from a good team to a great one.[5] "I’d never make that trade again," Nelson lamented.[5] The Warriors finished second in the Pacific Division with a 55–27 record, the most wins in a season for the franchise since 1975–76. In the first round of the playoffs, they lost four games to the sixth seed Seattle SuperSonics.
