The Cleveland Cavaliers are now 2-0 up in the NBA Playoffs against the Toronto Raptors. It was a magical night for the Cavaliers, as their trio of star players all had amazing performances.

Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, and Evan Mobley were all superb. However, Mitchell wanted to make sure Mobley got his flowers because he is in unreal form on both ends of the floor as of late.

Donovan Mitchell heaps deserved praise on Evan Mobley​

While Mitchell scored 30 points and Harden had a 28-point game, Mobley was arguably the most impressive player for the Cavaliers. He was playing so well that he scored 25 points while only missing two shots from his 13 attempts.

Defensively, Mobley continued to showcase why he is one of the best in the league. He was the 2025 Defensive Player of the Year, and he continued to shine on both ends of the floor for the Cavaliers team that wants to compete for a title.

Mitchell is a given when it comes to Playoff basketball, as he usually elevates his game during this part of the year. Harden and Mobley are not as proven as Mitchell, but they are redeeming themselves so far.

"The biggest thing is staying mentally strong. Evan Mobley is a DPOY, All-NBA, and everything we need him to be. Just trying to find ways to win. We are all chasing the same thing," Mitchell said after Game 2 about Mobley's impact.

Moving forward, the Cavaliers have a chance at a championship. With Mitchell playing this well, the ceiling is limitless for Cleveland. As long as they can continue to dominate, the Eastern Conference might be in trouble with an in-form Cavs team.
