The 1991–92 NBA season was the Warriors' 46th season in the NBA and 29th in the San Francisco Bay Area.^[1] On the first day of the regular season, Run TMC was broken up when the Warriors traded Mitch Richmond 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 head 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. However, in the first round of the playoffs, they lost in four games to the 6th-seeded Seattle SuperSonics.
