So many things are magical at Neyland Stadium, his voice being one if them. I will miss hearing him. RIP.
The game got off to an ominous start for the Magic as they missed their first three shots, Davis clanged two free throws and Vaughn had to call a timeout to stop a 6-0 Chicago start. In that game nine months ago, the Magic went down by as much as 27 points before rallying to briefly take the lead, only to lose in the final two minutes.
To their surprise, they meet a friendly dolphin named Sandy who can talk. Sandy explains that the dolphins are in danger and need Jack and Annie's help. The siblings agree to assist and learn that the dolphins' home, the Coral Sea, is polluted and causing them to become sick.

The Magic took an eight-point lead into the fourth quarter and extended it out to 11 points three different times. One spectacular play saw O’Quinn throw a back-door pass to a cutting Harkless for a dunk as he was fouled.
