LOS ANGELES, Calif. - A judge ruled against Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling on Monday in his attempt to block the $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. In the tentative ruling, Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas sided with Sterlings estranged wife Shelly Sterling, who burst into tears when the ruling was announced. "I cant believe its over. I feel good," she said. Shelly Sterling negotiated the sale of the team after the 80-year-old billionaire was banned by the NBA for making offensive remarks about blacks. She sought approval from a probate judge for the deal she struck after removing her husband from the trust that owned the team when doctors found he had signs of Alzheimers disease and couldnt manage his affairs. Donald Sterling claimed his wife deceived him about the medical exams. He later revoked the trust after she negotiated the record-setting sales price and his lawyers argued that the move killed the deal. They said the case didnt belong in probate court because the trust had been dissolved. The ruling in Los Angeles County Superior Court is unlikely to put an end to the bizarre saga that began in April when a recording surfaced of Sterling scolding his young girlfriend for bringing black men to Clippers games. The NBA moved quickly to ban Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million. Sterling was apologetic after the audio recording went viral, but his mea culpa backfired when he criticized Lakers great Magic Johnson, who had been photographed with Sterlings girlfriend, as a bad role model for kids because he had HIV. Sterling was roundly criticized from locker rooms to the Oval Office, where President Barack Obama called Sterlings remarks "incredibly offensive racist statements." With the NBA threatening to seize the team and auction it, Sterling initially gave his wife of 58 years permission to negotiate a sale but then refused to sign it. He said he would sue the league instead and then revoked the trust. The nonjury trial held over several weeks focused mainly on whether Shelly Sterling properly removed her husband as a trustee and whether her actions carried any weight after he revoked the trust. Donald Sterlings lawyers contended that his wife and her lawyers conspired to trick him and that the mental exams by two doctors were faulty. They said Sterling didnt know his competency as a trustee was being evaluated and that he showed no signs of incompetence on the witness stand. In combative testimony, Sterling said he would "never, ever sell" the team he bought in 1981 for about $12 million. He vowed to fight the NBA in court until the day he dies. Before taking the stand, he kissed his wife and then testified that he loved her. But the following day when she approached him in court he yelled, "get away from me, you pig!" Sterling, a lawyer who made a fortune as a landlord, has filed an antitrust lawsuit in federal court against the NBA and he sued his wife, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the league in state court. Lawyers for Shelly Sterling and Ballmer had urged the judge to let the sale go through because it was in the best interest of the family trust. They said an auction was less likely to bring such a high price and that coach Doc Rivers, key players and sponsors were likely to walk if Donald Sterlings ownership was prolonged. "The trust has a golden bird in the hand," Shelly Sterlings lawyers wrote in court papers. "A sale of the Clippers for $2 billion is indisputably a bonanza for the Sterling family. Donalds strident opposition is motivated by only selfish considerations." Donald Sterling said he could get more for the team by also selling TV rights and through his $9 billion suit against the league. ___ AP Special Correspondent Linda Deutsch contributed to this story.

Goode.That song was heard twice Saturday night as the exciting Calgary rookie continued his strong play in recent weeks in which good would be an understatement.Making it six goals in the last three games, Gaudreau scored his 11th and 12th goals to lead the Flames to a 4-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, extending the Oilers latest winless streak to nine games.Im pretty excited about getting the chance to score some goals, said Gaudreau, who won the Hobey Baker Award last year with Boston College. They werent coming throughout the first 20, 30 games of the season. I was kind off to a slow start but its nice to see the puck going in the net.Saturdays two goals comes on the heels of Gaudreaus hat trick in Tuesdays 4-3 comeback victory over the Los Angeles Kings.I think that might have been the quickest Ive ever scored two goals, said Gaudreau, who is second in rookie scoring with 29 points, five behind the leader, Nashvilles Filip Forsberg. Our line is playing really well and the team is playing pretty well right now, too, so we have to keep it up.According to Elias, Gaudreau is the first Flames rookie since Joe Nieuwendyk in March 1988 to record consecutive multi-goal games.Hes so quick. Hes pouncing on those loose pucks with lots of speed. Hes capable of scoring any way, said Flames coach Bob Hartley. His chemistry with Jiri Hudler is phenomenal. Whether we play them with (Markus) Granlund or (Josh) Jooris, it seems they always find a way to get on the scoreboard for us, and thats so important.Gaudreaus goals came 16 seconds apart early in the first period as the Flames blew the game open with three goals in less than two minutes.Up 1-0 on Joe Colbornes first of the year at 7:08, Gaudreau made it 2-0 at 8:32 capitalizing on an Oilers turnover.When Mark Arcobellos pass through his own slot was mishandled by David Perron, Gaudreau pounced on the loose puck and quickly broke in alone on Edmonton goalie Viktor Fasth, beating him with a nifty move to his backhand.Gaudreaus second goal of the night, also on a breakaway, came on a perfect feed from TJ Brodie, who wired him a pass from behind the Flames net that hit on the tape at the Oilers blue-line.(Brodie) sees the ice so well. When you see him back there behind the net its hard not to go flying up the ice because he definitely sees you, Gaudreau said.In alone on Fasth yet again, this time Gaudreau had the puck bobble off his stick but still trickle through the pads of Fasth.Ive got to stop at least one of those to keep us in the game but I didnt, said Fasth, who was immediaately pulled after that goal by coach Todd Nelson and replaced with Ben Scrivens.ddddddddddddurtis Glencross also scored for Calgary (19-15-3), which has won consecutive games after ending an eight-game winless skid. The Flames are ninth in the Western Conference, two points back of Los Angeles for the second wild-card spot.Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had the lone goal for the Oilers (7-22-7), who are winless in their last nine (0-7-2).In this league, its so hard to come back from even just one or two goals so to spot them three is unfortunate, said Nugent-Hopkins. Especially on the road, the home team is buzzing, the crowd is going, it made it really tough for us to come back even though we tried pretty hard.Dating back to November 11, Edmonton has won just once in its last 21 games (1-14-6). Since taking over coaching duties when Dallas Eakins was fired, Nelson is 0-3-2.I thought our start wasnt bad at all, and that stretch where we basically gave them three goals and didnt make them earn it. They capitalized, which is a credit to them, but we cant shoot ourselves in the foot like that, Nelson said.The second period we started to get something going, start of the third I thought we came out strong, had some good offensive zone possession, we were creating some things. Then we took a couple penalties and it killed everything we were building upon.On the opening goal, Paul Byrons centring pass caromed off a skate and on goal. Fasth sprawled to get his pad on it but Colborne tucked in the rebound.To finally see it go across the line. Ive had more than enough chances and seen goalies stop it or see it just sitting on the line. To see that one slide past was real nice, said Colborne, who scored for the first time in 27 games.Edmonton was the better team in the second period but couldnt cut into the deficit until Nugent-Hopkins scored on a deflection 4:23 into the third period.Theyre the Oilers and we hate them so anytime you can take two points from them, its nice, said Colborne.Fasth ended up with three saves to fall to 2-9-2. Scrivens stopped 20 of 21 in relief.Jonas Hiller had 26 stops to improve to 11-10-2. It was the first time in 16 starts that he has surrendered fewer than two goals.Notes — The Flames record for two fastest goals by the same player is held by Lanny McDonald, who scored six seconds apart on March 22, 1984... Calgary scored three first-period goals for the first time since March 12... With rookies Gaudreau and Josh Jooris both having hat tricks in December, its the first time since Bostons Steve Heinze and Joe Juneau in January 1993 that two rookies teammates have recorded a hat trick in the same month.
