1997–98 Cleveland Cavaliers season The 1997–98 NBA season was the 28th season of the National Basketball Association in Cleveland, Ohio. In the offseason, the Cavaliers acquired All-Star forward Shawn Kemp from the Seattle SuperSonics in a three-team trade, and Wesley Person from the Phoenix Suns in another three-team trade. The Cavs went on a ten-game winning streak early into the season, and finished 5th in the Central Division with a 47–35 record, qualifying for the playoffs after a one-year absence. Kemp led the team in scoring and rebounding and was selected for the 1998 NBA All-Star Game, which would be his sixth and final All-Star appearance. Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Brevin Knight were both selected to the All-Rookie First Team, while Derek Anderson and Cedric Henderson both made the All-Rookie Second Team. However, the Cavaliers would lose in four games in the Eastern Conference first round of the playoffs to the Indiana Pacers, and they would not make it back to the postseason until 2006.
