Walter Tavares once again played a key role for Real Madrid on Thursday night, blocking 4 shots to help his team gain a 94-85 victory over Anadolu Efes Istanbul in a rematch of last season’s championship game.
Tavares’s quartet of swats against the Turkish team saw him reach the milestone of 300 blocks in the competition, reaffirming that he is one of the most dominant defensive presences ever seen inside the paint of European basketball courts.
