Isaiah Simpson was the luckiest fan in Oracle Arena on Sunday, after a story about counterfeit tickets caught the attention of the Warriors team.

Isaiah, 6, and his mother Alexandra McDonald had tried to go to a Warriors game near their hometown in Atlanta back in February, but were turned away from the stadium. The $600 tickets that McDonald had saved up for and purchased from StubHub were fake.

The game was meant to be a reward for Isaiah — who is a huge fan of the Warriors — for improving his grades, McDonald told news station CBS46 News.
