ORLANDO – Evan Fournier, the player the Orlando Magic most want having the ball with games on the line, did it once again on Sunday with another clutch game-winner.
Already the owner of a game-winning jumper earlier in the season against Cleveland, Fournier drilled a running floater at the buzzer to lift the Magic to a 109-107 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Orlando (16-19) saw Detroit (16-18) claw within 105-104 with 8.9 seconds remaining when point guard Reggie Jackson converted a difficult layup. From there, Aaron Gordon made a perfect read on an in-bounds play, hitting a streaking Terrence Ross for a dunk that pushed Orlando’s lead back to 107-104 with 5.
