Gordon scored a 3-pointer shot with only 1.1 seconds to the clock as the Orlando Magic won over Sacramento Kings by 114-112.
Steven Clifford, the coach for Orlando Magic said, “This was a terrific win. Hat to me was more of a win where we had to fight like hell and made some big plays near the end of the game than it was a lot of stuff that you look back at and say that we are on our way.”
Both Fournier and Gordon made it possible for Orlando Magic to achieve this close win their freelancing efforts.
