Posted by Greg Lee, Globe Staff August 14, 2008 09:35 AM

The United Sattes avenged a 2006 upset loss in the semifinals of the World Championships, by thrashing Greece, 92-69.

Today's American victory is its first statement to the rest of the field that they are the favorites to win the gold medal and all others should be focused on fighting for the silver medal.

Team USA defeated teams that are not expected to medal in China and Angola. The Americans will next play undefeated Spain (3-0), the 2006 World Champions, tomorrow night.
