It would be safe to say, Aaron Gordon had a pretty forgettable night.

In all the 37 minutes he was on the court, Gordon shot 5-of-11 from the field, and could make not a single one of his three long-range attempts.

He could only chip in with 12 points on a night when his team needed him the most, and to add insult to injury, was fouled out in due course of time as well.

Coming into this one, Gordon had dropped solid 20+ numbers against quality sides in Boston and Houston, but he couldn't carry the momentum over for this game in Detroit. Apart from his scoring total, he had 8 rebounds, a couple of assists and a single steal to offer.

Both Fournier and Gordon are the second in line for Orlando - in terms of scoring - after Nikola Vucevic, but combined for a meager total of 30 points on the night.
