Walter Tavares was unstoppable as Real Madrid defeated Baxi Manresa 87-75, securing their 34th consecutive home victory in the Liga ACB—breaking FC Barcelona’s previous record. The Whites remain undefeated at the Movistar Arena since March 2024, continuing an incredible home-court streak.
Madrid controlled the game from start to finish, relying heavily on Tavares’ dominance inside the paint. The big man finished with 16 points (perfect 10-for-10 from the free-throw line), 14 rebounds, 5 blocks, and a 39 efficiency rating in just under 21 minutes, giving the team a +17 when on the court.
Baxi Manresa stayed close until halftime, taking advantage of Madrid’s 9 turnovers and 8 offensive rebounds. They even trimmed the deficit to 42-37 early in the second half, but Tavares delivered the decisive blow. In his first 12 minutes alone, he tallied 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 blocks, making a statement that helped Madrid pull away.
With this victory, Real Madrid builds momentum ahead of Tuesday’s EuroLeague clash against Bayern Munich.
