Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – James Harden and Evan Mobley If you didn’t know any better, you’d think this Cavalier team was built entirely around Harden and Mobley. The two flashed an inherent chemistry tonight, shredding Chicago’s defense and making this a carefree win for Cleveland.

Harden’s one of the best pick-and-roll creators of all time. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that he’s managed to develop a relationship with Mobley, whose downhill finishing makes him the ideal partner for a playmaker like Harden. These two combined for 62 points tonight.

Harden had the Bulls in a constant state of disarray, drilling three-pointers and punishing them with his passing. Mobley filled in brilliantly, claiming open space and making himself available as an outlet whenever the Bulls sent two defenders at Harden. The blooming two-man game between Harden and Mobley is something to keep an eye on for the rest of the season.
