Donovan Mitchell, James Harden proving to be dynamic duo for Cavaliers 

For two players with a lot to prove in the playoffs, Donovan Mitchell and James Harden have been a dynamic duo for the Cleveland Cavaliers through the first two games of their first-round series. 

Through two games, as the Cavaliers hold a 2-0 series lead over the Toronto Raptors, Mitchell and James have been at their absolute best. 

First, they combined to score 54 points with eight three-pointers between them as the Cavaliers won the series opener 126-113 on Saturday. They then stepped up again on Monday, leading Cleveland to a 115-105 victory. 

Donovan Mitchell and James Harden combined for half of the Cavaliers' total

Upping their production even more, Mitchell and Harden totaled about half of the Cavaliers' total points in game two of the series. Mitchell reached 30 points for the second consecutive game, connecting on 13-of-23 shots from the field with four from long range again. He also brought down seven rebounds, dished out five assists and even converted a steal. 

And as for Harden, Cleveland's trade deadline addition with past postseason failures tainting his otherwise Hall of Fame-worthy career, he put up 28 of his own after scoring 22 on Saturday.
