Spaniards give Greeks a tragedy

What more can be said about the Spanish team's upset against Greece on Sunday for the gold medal at the World Basketball Championship in Saitama, Japan? A stunning 70-47 win was dedicated to Memphis Grizzlies star Pau Gasol, who sprained his ankle during the final seconds in Spain's bout with Argentina on Friday. The Spaniards fought hard to show the world that their team could perform without Gasol, which many doubted.

King Juan Carlos and Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero are expected to greet the team upon their arrival. It was Spain's first gold medal in the World Basketball Championship.
