HEATH KUFAHL IS a high school teacher from Del City, Oklahoma who has a wife and seven kids.

Last night at the Thunder-Lakers game, he made a half-court shot between the 3rd and 4th quarters that won him $20,000 from MidFirst Bank.

Kufahl told the Oklahoman that the money will go toward medical bills for his wife Jenni, who was diagnosed with colon cancer in October.
