Real Madrid defeated San Pablo Burgos 90-79 at home in Round 6 of the Spanish League. One of the match's most notable players was the 2.21 m tall center Walter Tavares. Tavares contributed significantly with 6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks.

With this performance, Tavares raised his career total in the Spanish League to 739 blocks. He became the league's all-time leader in blocks. Until now, the top spot belonged to Fran Vazquez, who played for Barcelona and Unicaja and had 738 blocks.
