MANILA, Philippines – The Cleveland Cavaliers fell to another heartbreaking loss, thanks to Evan Fournier who knocked in a buzzer-beater to seal the win for the Orlando Magic on Monday, November 5 (Tuesday, November 6, Manila time), at the Amway Center in Orlando.
With 1.8 ticks left on the clock, Aaron Gordon was initially supposed to inbound the ball to Terrence Ross at the right corner. But he passed it to an open Fournier, who nailed the game-winning jumper.
