ATLANTA (AP) — Kyle Korver scored a season-high 30 points, including four straight 3-pointers to close the third period, and LeBron James added a triple-double as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Atlanta Hawks 123-107 for a successful start to their makeover.
One day after unloading six players, including guards Isaiah Thomas and Dwyane Wade, in three trades, the Cavaliers were short-handed but still productive.
Cleveland had lost 13 of 20.
LeBron James says he’s excited about the new players. James says it’s his job to integrate the new players as quickly as possible.
The new Cavs are not expected to play until Sunday in Boston.
