Fourth-seed Cavs lead fifth-seed Raptors 2-0 after 115-105 Game 2. Mitchell hits four 3s for 30. Series moves to Toronto Thursday...
Donovan Mitchell and James Harden scored 58 combined points as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors 115-105 to take a 2-0 lead in the playoff series.
The fourth-seeded Cavaliers, who won Game 1 126-113 on Saturday, were again too much for the fifth-seeded Raptors as they led wire-to-wire for the victory.
Mitchell finished with 30 points and four three-pointers, while Harden added 28 points, five rebounds, and four assists.
Evan Mobley also delivered for Cleveland, scoring 25 points on an efficient 11-of-13 shooting.
The win is another sign that the offensive partnership between Mitchell and 36-year-old Harden, acquired in a February trade, is clicking at the right time for Cleveland.
A TRIO OF CAVS SHINED IN THEIR GAME 2 VICTORY 👏

“He's been doing it a little bit longer than me, but we've still been doing it for a long time - just trying to find ways to win,” Mitchell said of Harden.
“Whether it's passing, it's rebounding, getting stops - when you have two guys who are trying to chase the same thing, it definitely helps for sure,” Mitchell added.
