The Orlando Magic came back from a five-point deficit in the last 24 seconds, taking a 102-100 victory over the scuffling Cavaliers with Evan Fournier being the hero of the night.
The French swingman took an inbounds pass with 1.8 seconds left after Montenegrin Nikola Vucevic blocked George Hill’s shot at the other end, and his shot went in.
“I finished well shooting the ball, but I missed so many open shots in the first half and third quarter, it’s amazing,” Fournier said. “I knew (the last shot) wasn’t going to be catch-and-shoot situation because that’s a tough shot. … I knew I had time to dribble.”
Jamal Murray scored a career-high 48 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter, and the Denver Nuggets overcame a sluggish start to beat the Boston Celtics 115-107 for an 8-1 record in the West. Serb Nikola Jokic was once again near the triple-double (8 p. 10 r. 8 as.).
