Hawks star Dejounte Murray dropped 44 points on the Celtics on Thursday night, and now it appears he’s ready to drop $10,000 into the hands of a successful half-court shooter at State Farm Arena.

A fan won $10,000 after hitting a half-court shot during a break in Thursday’s game, and Murray pledged on social media Friday that he would match the prize if he was able to obtain the winner’s information.

Twenty-five minutes later, the winner - identified as Jack Tresh - responded on social media by thanking Murray. ‘This is just a blessing,” he said.
