Orlando Magic swingman Evan Fournier looked back on their tough Game 3 and 4 losses at home and vowed to win Game 5 over the Toronto Raptors so that they could play at Amway Center again.
Fournier felt bad about the two losses at home, especially for the fans. The seventh-seeded Magic are down 3-1 in the series. Now, as the matchup heads back to Scotiabank Arena, the 26-year-old Frenchman is looking to steal a victory in order to make a return trip to Amway Center for Game 6.
“It’s tough, man, because these fans have been waiting for these games for so long and it’s really disappointing to not give them a win,” Fournier said, per Orlando Magic beat reporter John Denton.
“That’s a big reason why we want to come back here for a Game 6.”
The Magic have been a revelation in the regular season. No one predicted that they'll qualify for the postseason yet here they are.
This is their first playoff appearance since the 2011-2012 season. Thanks to the rise of Aaron Gordon, Evan Fournier, Terrence Ross and All-Star center Nikola Vucevic, the Magic have turned into an up and coming team in the East.
Though no one expects Orlando to topple the Raptors, the Magic definitely have a bright future ahead.
