Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon made sure to finish off the Philadelphia 76ers in style on Friday, delivering a reverse alley-oop flush in their 98-97 win at the Amway Center.
With the home team up by nine points with under two-minutes left in regulation, Gordon sneakily made it past the Sixers defense on the break and put himself in prime position for a high percentage shot. His Magic teammate Evan Fournier rewarded his cut and sent a picture-perfect pass to the streaking forward.

The 6-foot-8 athletic marvel put something a little extra for the fans, finishing the lob with his back against the basket and flexing in front of the Sixers bench.
Philly, however, made a run for it in the end game and erased the double-digit margin. Fortunately for the Magic, they managed to avert a complete meltdown and escaped with the one-point victory.
Aaron Gordon finished the game with a solid double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds in 34 minutes. The 24-year-old forward is having a down year with the Magic so far, averaging just 13.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 40.7 percent from the field and just 29.5 percent from three.
