The Cleveland Cavaliers have been playing a beautiful brand of team basketball over the last month and a half. However, it's still important that we give individual players recognition when they do something monumental in their careers.

A pair of Cavs reached individual milestones against the Magic on Monday night that are worth noting.

Donovan Mitchell

Donovan Mitchell has only played for the Cavaliers for a season and a half, but he's putting together two career-high seasons in terms of scoring. Spida's three-point shooting is something that specifically stands out.

He reached a career milestone in Orlando scoring his 1,300th career three-pointer. The play Mitchell hit this on was a flashy shake 'n bake, deep, step-back three and the Magic defense had no answers for it.

Mitchell hit 958 of his threes during his five seasons with the Utah Jazz with the other 342 coming in a Cavalier uniform.

Isaac Okoro

Isaac Okoro passed a landmark moment in his career against the Magic too. He entered Monday night's matchup just five points shy of his 2,000th career. It didn't take him long for him to reach that mark as he hit it early in the first quarter.

Ice was never touted as being a premier scorer when he was drafted fifth overall in the 2020 Draft out of Auburn. However, Okoro has found his fit this season averaging 8.7 points per game while shooting an efficient 49% from the floor.
