"The Cavaliers lost a 12-point lead in the first half, then they lost the game Sunday to the Philadelphia 76ers 95-91. What they lost in between might hurt most of all.

Antawn Jamison fractured his left pinky late in the third quarter of Sunday's loss when he was fouled by Jrue Holiday. Jamison walked immediately off the court and into the locker room.

He left the arena with his left hand wrapped in a splint and without speaking to reporters. He is the team's leading scorer at 18.1 points, and the second-leading scorer, Mo Williams, is no longer with the team. That makes Ramon Sessions' 12.6 points per game the leader among the healthy bodies left on the team.

''He does a lot for us,'' Anthony Parker said. ''He's a guy that knows how to play the game and he's one of the guys on the floor who can help the younger guys along. Can't really replace what he does on the court.''

The team is off today, so no update or prognosis will be coming until players reconvene for practice on Tuesday. Jamison is shooting a career-worst 42.6 percent. A fractured finger certainly isn't going to help with that.

''We've been resilient all year,'' guard Daniel Gibson said. ''I can't remember the last time we had all of our guys in the starting lineup at one time. Antawn is a very big part of what we do and we'll definitely miss him, but Samardo [Samuels] played well tonight and we'll have to continue to fight.''

The Cavs held a 20-8 lead with three minutes left in the first, but their effort and energy seemed to slip until the fourth quarter. They trailed by 12 early in the fourth and were still down 91-82 with 2:12 remaining when they scored six consecutive points to give themselves a chance.

Included in that spurt was a jumper by Parker, his only basket of the game. He and Christian Eyenga — the starting shooting guard and small forward — combined to go 1-of-12 from the floor for two points.

The Cavs still gave themselves a chance to tie the game in the final seconds when Gibson came off a screen and appeared to have a clean look at a 3-pointer. But he was a little off-balance and, with plenty of time left, didn't want to hoist a bad shot."
