Fournier's floating jumper with 3:25 left tied the game at 85.
The Raptors led by four, only to have Orlando tie it at 89. Ibaka's 17-footer gave Toronto the lead again with 43.5 seconds to play, but Fournier tied the game on a 3-footer.

Fournier opened the second half with a 3-pointer, and when he made his fourth 3-pointer of the game with 7:38 to play in the third quarter, Toronto's lead was down to one.
The Magic took their first lead of the game, 61-59, on Gordon's 7-footer with 5:27 to play in the third.
