Tamir Blatt continued his family’s love affair with Mediolanum Forum as he led impressive dark horse ALBA Berlin to a 74-80 overtime road win over EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in Round 2 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague on Friday night.
In 2014, Tamir’s father, David, enjoyed arguably his greatest-ever moment in basketball by coaching Maccabi Tel Aviv to the EuroLeague title, overcoming Real Madrid in a memorable championship game with a 98-86 overtime triumph. Earlier, though, Coach Blatt's Maccabi advanced through the playoffs by beating Final Four host Milan, including an improbable comeback road victory after overtime in Game 1.
