"It wasn't as if the Cavaliers didn't look bad enough for most of Sunday's 95-91 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers at The Q.

But late in the third quarter, they also lost leading scorer Antawn Jamison with a fractured left little finger. It is unclear how much time -- if any -- he will be out.

"We don't really know yet," coach Byron Scott said. "I guess we'll have a little bit more of an understanding of what's going to happen in the next day or so."

Jamison, who left with 16 points -- just under his average of 18 -- was not in the locker room after the game. But losing him seemed to wake up his teammates.

"The fourth quarter we played really hard, and we played the way we should have played the first three quarters," Scott said as the Cavs dropped to 11-48. "We played in spurts as far as our energy is concerned. A young team, as we are, we can't afford to do that."

With newcomers Baron Davis and Semih Erden in street clothes on the bench next to new teammate Luke Harangody, who was in uniform, the Cavs rolled out to a 20-8 lead that evaporated faster than Friday's snowfall. By halftime, they trailed, 49-43, and were down, 65-50, midway through the third quarter. It seemed as if they could not have cared less.

After losing Jamison, Daniel Gibson, celebrating his 25th birthday, and rookie Samardo Samuels led the Cavs on a 17-9 run to open the fourth quarter. A three-point play by Gibson closed the deficit to 84-81, with the key play being J.J. Hickson's tip-in of a missed free throw by Samuels. "
