"Harden has this reputation for not delivering in big moments in the playoffs, but he has a reputation for being great in a lot of playoff games. Unfortunately, that's held true. He was great in Games 1 and 2. I'm just going to tell you that in his last four Game 5s when it's 2-2, Game 5, some of them have been at home, some of them have been away, he shot 33% and averaged 12 points."
"Limiting Harden and Mitchell offensively gives the Raptors an advantage. When Mitchell and Harden both score in the 20s or 30s, as they did in Games 1 and 2, it significantly boosts the Cavs' chances of winning."
The Raptors have tied the series against the Cavs at 2-2, overcoming early struggles and offensive limitations. They have effectively limited the scoring of Donovan Mitchell and James Harden, key players for the Cavs. Despite their offensive challenges, the Raptors have managed to secure wins through strong defense. Harden's playoff performance in Game 5s has been inconsistent, which could impact the outcome of the next game. Limiting the scoring of both Mitchell and Harden is crucial for the Raptors' success in Game 5.
