GIF: Varejao with a pair of highlights, Clark posters Mohammed

The first half of Wednesday's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls was a true spot-fest, which is fitting since it is WWE night.

Let's start with the major highlight first. Earl Clark destroyed Nazr Mohammed with a poster midway through the second quarter. Let's call it a tombstone piledriver of a dunk, because Mohammed can now rest in peace.

Anderson Varejao tagged in for some action, too, flashing a nifty behind-the-back ball-fake before throwing home a dunk. Let's call it a shooting star press, a pretty rare and flashy move occasionally surprisingly pulled off by a big man.

And then Varejao continued, hooking up with Luol Deng - fresh off a babyface turn, moving from the Bulls to the home-team Cavaliers - with a beautiful outlet pass. Let's call it the doomsday device, an impressive but not all that flashy tag-team maneuver.

The Bulls are playing scrappy underdog however, refusing to stay down for a three-count and trailing by just a point at the half.
