(Israel Hayom/Exclusive to JNS.org) Less than five months after leading Maccabi Tel Aviv to its sixth European basketball title, David Blatt, now head coach of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, routed his former team in an exhibition game on Sunday, Oct. 5, with the Cavaliers dominating Maccabi 107-80. The 20,562 fans in attendance witnessed Lebron James’s first appearance in a Cavaliers uniform since he left the club in free agency for the Miami Heat four years ago. This summer, James opted out of his contract with Miami and decided to return to the Cavaliers. “I thought in the first half, Maccabi played very well,” Blatt said. “I knew they would. I know their offense. I know the people involved.”
