Spain won the World Basketball Championship after beating Argentina 95-75 in the final of the tournament, which ended Sunday in Beijing.
Spain scored at the start and did not go too far, relying on their strong defense to stop offensive threats to the 2004 Olympic champions.
Ricky Rubio scored 20 points and three assists, and Marc Gasol and Willie Hernandez scored three shots each.
Spain completed their eighth successive league title and won the world title for the second time after winning the 2006 edition.
Spain were not among the favorites to win the tournament at the start of the 32-team tournament.
In contrast, Argentina lost the final for the second time, where they fell in the 2002 final in the United States, note that the team won a single title when it hosted the first edition of the championship in 1950.
The Argentine national team suffered its first defeat in the current tournament after winning seven consecutive wins over the various rounds of the championship.
Earlier in the day, Nando de Colo scored 19 points to lead France to their second consecutive bronze medal in the tournament, beating Australia 67-59.
