Aaron Gordon says Magic "feel cheated" after bizarre loss to Lakers
The Lakers won the game after a clock malfunction at Staples Center resulted in a bizarre ending
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon talked about the bizarre ending of the game lost to the Los Angeles Lakers last night.
With 0.6 seconds left, the Magic inbounded the ball at midcourt but the clock started prematurely, and the buzzer sounded as the ball was still in the air, before it touched anyone or anything.
Because there was an error with the clock, officials said the teams must have a jump ball at center court. Lakers center Brook Lopez then tapped the ball safely away as the clock expired to give the Lakers the win.
"We feel cheated," Orlando forward Aaron Gordon said. "... They gave them the game. ... It's just a terrible end to a game of basketball. They didn't even give us a chance to win."
