The Cavaliers beat Toronto for the 12th straight time in the playoffs, tying the NBA record for consecutive playoff wins over a single opponent. Cleveland also has active streaks of 12 in a row over the Atlanta Hawks and Detroit Pistons, matching the mark established by the Los Angeles Lakers over the Seattle SuperSonics from 1980-1995.
Mitchell added seven boards and five assists, while Harden also had five steals and four assists, moving into seventh place all-time in the latter category with 1,139 in his playoff career.
"To be honest, they're a problem," Raptors shooting guard RJ Barrett said. "They're a problem and we've got to figure out how to fix that. Now going home, we've got to get these next two."
