Oh, shoot! Cavs get ATL’s Kyle

-

The defending NBA champions just got a whole lot tougher to stop.

Two days after agreeing to the deal, the Cleveland Cavaliers completed a trade with Atlanta for Kyle Korver, one of the league’s best 3-point shooters, who will be able to spot up on the perimeter and wait for LeBron James to pass him the ball.

The Cavs sent forward Mike Dunleavy, guard Mo Williams, cash and a protected future firstround draft pick to the Hawks for Korver, a 14-year veteran whose ability to come off screens and deep range challenges defenses.

Jimmy Butler scored 42 points, and the host Chicago Bulls overcame a 19-point deficit to beat the Toronto Raptors 123-118 in overtime.

Russell Westbrook had 32 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists for his 17th triple-double of the season and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the visiting Denver Nuggets 121-106.
