Spain, Argentina Remain UndefeatedPau Gasol had 25 points and nine rebounds and Spain used another impressive performance to beat Lithuania 89-67 Tuesday and advance to the tournament's final four for the second time. Spain (7-0) will play Friday against Argentina, who disposed of Turkey 83-58. Andres Nocioni led the Argentinians with 21 points, including 6-for-7 from the field, and 6 rebounds. "The team who beats us is the team that plays really well,'' Spain coach Pepu Hernandez said. "We know we can lose if we don't do the right job and be the team we have been until this moment.

"I've been working out and I feel good about my game," Burks said. "I've got my jump shot falling again."
