ORLANDO, Fla. -- Desmond Bane earned a trip to Las Vegas and a convenient way to pay off a recent fine after he dropped 37 points to help the Orlando Magic beat the Miami Heat in the NBA Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday.
The 37 points were a season high for Bane, as were his six 3-pointers. The performance comes one game after he was fined $35,000 for firing a basketball at Knicks forward OG Anunoby.
"I just lost $35,000 so, I gotta go get it back somehow," said Bane, who earned a little more than $100,000 by advancing to the NBA Cup semifinals.
