Tonight’s Cavaliers-Hawks game was over at halftime when Cleveland held an insurmountable 74-38 lead. Fortunately, though, they don’t call the games at halftime. There’s no mercy rule in the NBA. It’s a good thing there isn’t, because we would’ve been deprived of this hilarious moment.

Just a few minutes after he was dunked all over by Iman Shumpert, something even worse happened to Mike Muscala. Mo Williams was trying to fire a pass out to Richard Jefferson on the wing, but the ball whacked Muscala in the head on the way through. Because this highlight serves as a perfect summation of how awful this game was for the Hawks, the ball bounced perfectly into the waiting arms of Shumpert in the corner, who promptly drilled the wide-open three-pointer:
