ORLANDO – While most of last season was forgettable for the Orlando Magic and veteran Evan Fournier due to them not meeting expectations and injuries, there is a particularly favorable moment that is still etched in the shooting guard’s memory almost a year later.
Last October, when the Magic opened the 2017-18 season at the Amway Center against the rival Miami Heat, Fournier rescued Orlando from what could have been an unsightly collapse with some repeatedly gutsy play in the clutch. After witnessing a 97-80 lead shrink to 105-103 with 2:39 to play, Fournier went to work on showing why he the Magic’s go-to-player in tense situations.
