Pau Gasol added 17 points and 10 rebounds for Spain, which became the first repeat champion since Yugoslavia in 1997. Serge Ibaka had five blocks in the second quarter as Spain built a 10-point lead to pull away, and never trailed the rest of the way. France came within six in the third but a 7-0 run keyed by a 3-pointer from Navarro restored Spains double-digit lead. Tony Parker led France with 26 points, but got little help and could not bring his team its first continental title. Navarros performance came on the heels of a 35-point effort in the semifinal win over Macedonia and earned him the Most Valuable Player honours for the tournament. The shooting guard also had five assists to lead a balanced Spanish effort. Guard Jose Calderon added 17 points, and Rudy Fernandez had 14. Marc Gasol had 11.

The shooting guard sank a short jumper with 27 seconds left and then made two free throws after Macedonias Damjan Stojanovski missed an open short jumper with seven seconds left. Andrei Kirilenko grabbed the rebound and Shved was fouled to make the free throws. "It was not a game of skill, but of will and fight," said Kirilenko, who had 18 points and seven rebounds for Russia. Macedonia has been the surprise team of the tournament and came close to pulling off another upset. But Russias deeper bench and dominance on the boards made the difference. Russia had 43 rebounds to Macedonias 25, including 22 offensive boards that allowed Russia to score 30 second-chance points. "I guess this is the end of the fairy tale," Macedonia centre Predrag Samardziski said. "We fought hard the whole tournament and we wanted the bronze, but it didnt happen. Now, everybody knows us. We are a small country but they have to fight hard to beat us." American-born guard Bo McCalebb led Macedonia with 22 points. McCalebb fed Stojanovski on Macedonias last missed play and looked deeply disappointed at the final buzzer. Russia won the tournament in 2007. jerseys from china .

Cheap Russia Soccer Jerseys . Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski confirmed Saturday that Wallach and Lloyd McClendon have both interviewed for the job. DENVER -- The Arizona Diamondbacks finally gave Paul Goldschmidt a night off, and recent call-up Nick Evans filled in quite nicely for the first baseman. Evans and Chris Owings hit back-to-back homers, rookie Chase Anderson won his fourth straight start and the Diamondbacks beat the slumping Colorado Rockies 4-2 on Tuesday. The solo shot by Evans in the fourth was his first homer since Sept. 3, 2011, when he was with the New York Mets. He wasnt sure if a moment like this would ever arrive again, especially after missing most of 2012 with a broken hand and not having a job last season until the Diamondbacks called a few days before the season -- with only a spot open at Double-A Mobile. The veteran still jumped at the chance. "You start to question," said Evans, who was recalled from Triple-A Reno last week. "Its not easy to get here. ... This is definitely satisfying." Evans was in the lineup because manager Kirk Gibson decided it was a good time to rest Goldschmidt. It was the sluggers first day off of the season after 59 straight games, one shy of the club record of 60 set by Travis Lee in 1998. Maybe another break for Goldschmidt on Wednesday? "Yeah, I wouldnt count on that," Evans said. "If I was a betting man, Id count on him being in there." Anderson (4-0) was hardly intimidated by hitter friendly Coors Field or one of the top lineups in the league. He didnt overpower the Rockies so much as keep them guessing, throwing six effective innings in his longest outing since he was recalled from Reno on May 6. He becomes the fifth rookie since 1998 to win his opening four starts. The right-hander allowed four hits and one run -- a homer by D.J. LeMahieu -- to help the Diamondbacks stop a three-game skid. "I tried to stick with my game plan, pitch off that," Anderson said. "If you try to pitch to the park, sometimes youre not very successful." Jorge De La Rosa (6-4) settled down after a shaky start, giving up three runs in seven innings. The hard-throwing lefty didnt have a strikeout forr the first time this season, and his six-game winning streak came to an end. Cheap Manchester United Jerseys. . Evans homer came on a fastball, and then four pitches later Owings hit a cutter into the stands. "I didnt have my best stuff," De La Rosa said. "I just kept trying to work my way through and go as far as I can. I think I did a good job." The Rockies opened a 10-game homestand with their fifth straight loss. The best-hitting team in baseball just finished a dismal road swing in which it went 2-7 and averaged less than three runs a game. If this bad stretch wasnt bad enough, the Rockies could be losing one of their top players. Outfielder Carlos Gonzalez was removed in the sixth after irritating his left index finger. He just might be headed for the disabled list in order to give a finger thats nagged him most of the season a chance to heal. "Were at a point where weve got to make a decision on this and see whats best for him and whats best for our club," manager Walt Weiss said. Colorado struggled against Anderson, who mixed a fastball that barely crept into the 90s with a sharp curve and a splendid changeup. Anderson also benefited from an overturned call at the plate in the second that kept the game scoreless. Wilin Rosario was ruled safe by umpire Jerry Layne after sliding past the tag of catcher Miguel Montero. As Montero protested, Gibson trotted out of the dugout to challenge the play. The call was reversed when replays showed Montero tagged Rosario on the back before touching home. "That was awesome," Anderson said. "I saw that Miggy did tag him, but I wasnt sure if it was in time. Luckily, it was in time." NOTES: Arizona recalled INF Didi Gregorius from Triple-A Reno and placed INF Cliff Pennington (sprained left thumb) on the disabled list. Gibson said Pennington will undergo surgery. ... It was the third time this season the Diamondbacks have hit back-to-back homers. ... Owings also added an RBI double and finished a single shy of the cycle. ... The umpires used replay to check the count in the fourth. cheap jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
