Allen Iverson played on Friday night, despite having a chipped finger and managed to score 1 point above his average, finishing with 31 points in a 93-81 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

LeBron James scored 16 points on just 3-of-20 shooting for the Cavaliers.

``I would have been shocked if he didn't,'' Jim O'Brien said.

Prior to the game Sixers medical personnel designed a special wrap for Iverson's thumb, using an adhesive that molded and hardened around it to protect and immobilize it. But after missing his first four shots, Iverson tore the bandage off, wadded it into a ball and tossed it toward the Sixers' bench.
