The 1994–95 Cleveland Cavaliers season was the 25th season for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the National Basketball Association. ^[1] This was also the team's first season playing at the Gund Arena. ^[2] During the off-season, the Cavaliers signed free agents Michael Cage, ^{[3] [4] [5]} and Tony Campbell. ^{[6] [7]} However, before the regular season began, the team lost Brad Daugherty to a back injury, and Gerald Wilkins to a ruptured Achilles tendon, as both players were out for the entire season. ^{[8] [9] [10]}

Despite losing both Daugherty and Wilkins, the Cavaliers posted an 11-game winning streak in December, which led them to a 20–8 start, and held a 28–19 record at the All-Star break. ^[11] However, they played below .500 in winning percentage for the remainder of the regular season, as Mark Price only played just 48 games due to a broken wrist injury. ^{[12] [13] [14]} Price would soon return, as the Cavaliers finished in fourth place in the Central Division with a 43–39 record, and earned the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. ^[15]

Price led the team with 15.8 points and 7.0 assists per game, along with 103 three-point field goals, while Tyrone Hill averaged 13.8 points and 10.9 rebounds per game, and backup point guard Terrell Brandon, who stepped up in Price's absence, provided the team with 13.3 points, 5.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game. In addition, second-year forward Chris Mills became the team's starting small forward, averaging 12.3 points per game, while Hot Rod Williams provided with 12.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, and Bobby Phills contributed 11.0 points and 1.4 steals per game. Meanwhile, Cage averaged 5.0 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, while off the bench, Danny Ferry contributed 7.5 points per game, and Campbell contributed 6.0 points per game. ^[16]

During the NBA All-Star weekend at the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, Hill was selected for the 1995 NBA All-Star Game, as a member of the Eastern Conference All-Star team; it was his first and only All-Star appearance. ^{[17] [18] [19]} Hill also finished tied in seventh place in Most Improved Player voting, ^{[20] [21]} while head coach Mike Fratello finished in second place in Coach of the Year voting, behind Del Harris of the Los Angeles Lakers. ^{[22] [21]}

In the Eastern Conference First Round of the 1995 NBA playoffs, the Cavaliers faced off against the 3rd–seeded New York Knicks, who were led by All-Star center Patrick Ewing, All-Star guard John Starks, and Sixth Man of the Year, Anthony Mason. However, the Cavaliers were without Brandon, who suffered a leg injury during the final month of the regular season. ^{[23] [24]} After losing Game 1 on the road, 103–79 at Madison Square Garden, the Cavaliers managed to defeat the Knicks in Game 2 on the road, 90–84 to even the series. However, the Cavaliers lost the next two games to the Knicks at home, losing Game 4 at the Gund Arena, 93–80, thus losing the series in four games. ^{[25] [26] [27]}

During this season, the Cavaliers were known as a low-scoring, defensive team, as Fratello switched to a slow-paced, defensive coaching style; ^{[28] [29]} the team finished last in the NBA in scoring averaging 90.5 points per game, while allowing 89.8 points per game from their opponents, which was the best in the league, and also had the third best team defensive rating. ^{[30] [31]} The Cavaliers also finished fourth in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 833,850 at the Gund Arena during the regular season. ^{[16] [30]}

Following the season, Price was traded to the Washington Bullets after nine seasons with the Cavaliers, ^{[32] [33] [34]} while Williams was dealt to the Phoenix Suns, ^{[35] [36] [37]} Wilkins was left unprotected in the 1995 NBA expansion draft, where he was selected by the Vancouver Grizzlies expansion team, ^{[38] [39] [40]} Campbell was released to free agency, and John Battle retired.

For the season, the Cavaliers changed their primary logo and uniforms, adding black and light blue to their color scheme of orange; the team's new logo featured a basketball going into a net on a black square, ^[41] while their new uniforms featured a light blue splash across their jerseys and shorts, and featured the word "CAVS" on the front of their home jerseys, and "CLEVELAND" on their road jerseys. ^{[42] [43]} However, the team's new uniforms were criticized and disliked by many fans and critics, and were considered "ugly". ^{[44] [28]}

The team's new logo would remain in use until 2003, while the uniforms would be slightly redesigned in 1997.
