The Cleveland Cavaliers, fueled by 32 points from Donovan Mitchell, beat the Toronto Raptors 126-113 on Saturday in their NBA playoff opener.

James Harden added a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds and Max Strus scored 24 points off the bench for Eastern Conference fourth seeds Cleveland, who will try to build on their advantage when they host game two of the best-of-seven series on Monday.
