Real's Tavares repeats as EuroLeague Best Defender

Walter Tavares's reign as the EuroLeague Best Defender award winner will continue another year as the Real Madrid center was chosen to be the recipient of the trophy in a poll of Turkish Airlines EuroLeague head coaches. Tavares, 29, was a force in the middle for Los Blancos as he led the league with 1.8 blocked shots per game. His defensive impact stretched far beyond his blocks as Tavares's presence was a constant source of intimidation for opponents, which resulted in countless close-range shots that were altered, missed or simply passed up. In fact, opponents challenged by Tavares made just 34.4% of their shots, according to Synergy Sports. That number was the best on his team and 11th in the league. Moreover, his 4.8 defensive rebounds per game led the league and sealed possessions, often allowing Real to get going in transition. Because each of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague head coaches knows how difficult it is to plan to attack the paint against Real Madrid when Tavares is in the game, it was only natural that they would collectively choose as the 2020-21 EuroLeague Best Defender.

Efes controlled the paint in Game 1

The conventional wisdom before Game 1 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs series between Anadolu Efes Istanbul would be that the hosts had the stronger backcourt and the visitors enjoyed more power in the paint. After all, the Efes guard duo of Shane Larkin and Vasilije Micic is one of the best in the league, while Real center Walter Tavares is the reigning EuroLeague Best Defender whose offense is only getting better.
Of course, conventional wisdom doesn't play the game. On the court, Game 1 played out much differently as Efes controlled the paint and dominated the second half to win 90-63.
