A $20,000 half-court was made and followed by a tackle from the Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant.

Television reporter Justin Dougherty nailed the half-court shot and that might have been more icing to the icing on the cake, because it was his birthday, according to USA Today. Dougherty won $20,000 and the recipient of a Kevin Durant tackle in Oklahoma, as the Thunder hosted the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday.

Dougherty tweeted prior to the game that he was going to have a chance at the $20,000.

"Prayer Request: I'm about to shoot free throws at the end of the 3rd quarter of tonight's @okcthunder game," Dougherty tweet said, which was attached with a confirmation letter.

As Dougherty hits the shot, the crowd goes wild. He then runs through the arms of others attempting to celebrate with him, which included the team's mascot, the Lost Ogle. The money winner even ran passed the cheerleaders who were holding the $20,000 check. He grabbed a woman in the crowd and the two stormed back to the court.

Still celebrating, he waived Kevin Durant to come join him and he did. Durant tackled him in celebratory fashion.

The Daily Thunder tweeted Durant's response to joining in on the celebration.

"He called me out there .. I was happy for him & I turned around & he was calling me over so I had to run out there," the Daily Thunder tweeted.

LeBron James tackled a fan who hit a $75,000 half-court shot at a Miami Heat game in January.
