The

US basketball team continued its march for the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics by defeating

Greece 92-69 in their quarterfinal match. The team looks set shrug off the embarrassment that it suffered at the last Olympics and at the World Championships. It looks in formidable form with the likes of Chris Bosh and Kobe Bryant coming into form at the right time.

Kobe added 18 points courtesy of his 7-for-14 performance from the field. Bosh also added 18 points along with LeBron James 13. It was

Greece who had stunned the

US in the semis of the World Championships and this victory certainly helped to cure some wound.
