Shorthanded Cavaliers fall to the 76ers 99-84
Antawn Jamison lead the Cavaliers with 20 points
Posted: 02/11/2012
CLEVELAND - Jrue Holliday scored 20 points to lead six Philadelphia players in double figures as the 76ers rolled to a 99-84 win over the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.
Philadelphia bounced back from a difficult home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night to break a season-high two-game losing streak.
Cleveland, which dropped an overtime decision to Milwaukee at home on Friday, played without two of its three leading scorers. The team announced before the game that center Anderson Varejao will be sidelined indefinitely because of a broken right wrist sustained Friday. Rookie point guard Kyrie Irving missed his third straight game with a concussion.
Antawn Jamison led Cleveland with 20 points, while Ramon Sessions -- starting in place of Irving -- scored 19 points and had eight assists.
Lou Williams scored 19 points and Thaddeus Young added 16 for Philadelphia.
