On Sunday, Cavs Coach David Blatt was scheduled to help chair a dinner for Israel Bonds, a brokerage firm that sells treasury bonds for the Israeli government.
The dinner will honor KeyCorp CEO Beth Mooney and PNC Bank Regional President Paul Clark, both of whom have supported Israel Bonds. The event will also recognize Mark Sack and his wife Aviv, longtime friends of Blatt who are active in several local groups, including the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.
But Blatt will miss the dinner. His Cavs are playing in game five of the NBA finals in Oakland that day.
“We had been hoping for a four-game sweep of the Warriors, so that he would be available Sunday, but now our hope is that the Cavs close out the series that night,” said Sack, an Orange resident and Cleveland Heights High School teacher who played basketball with Blatt in Israel 30 years ago.
