LOS ANGELES -- The estranged wife of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling will fight to retain her 50 per cent ownership stake in the team, her lawyer said Thursday, adding an unwanted twist to the NBAs plan to force new ownership on the franchise. Authentic Ricky Jean Francois Jersey . Shelly Sterlings attorney, Pierce ODonnell, said his client "will not agree to a forced or involuntary seizure of her interest." "As her lawyers we will fight vigorously to defend her property rights," he said. ODonnell said Mrs. Sterling has no interest in managing the Clippers and wants a new investor group to come in with a professional management team. ODonnell also told The Associated Press that Shelly Sterling has been separated from her husband for the last year and is considering divorce. There is no record of legal separation documents being filed, though ODonnell said the couple is living apart. Last week, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Donald Sterling from the NBA for life and urged league owners to force him to sell the team. The move came after a recording surfaced in which Sterling made racist comments, telling friend V. Stiviano that he didnt want her to bring black people to Clippers games. At a news conference announcing the decision, Silver said no decision had been made regarding whether Mrs. Sterling or any other Sterling family member will be allowed to retain an ownership position. ODonnell said he spoke with NBA officials Thursday morning but declined to elaborate. He said Mrs. Sterling has been working co-operatively with Silver and his staff and supported his announcement seeking a new chief executive officer for the team and the NBAs decision to place longtime team President Andy Roeser on leave. NBA spokesman Mike Bass said the league wouldnt comment on its discussions. ODonnell said Mrs. Sterling "abhors" her husbands comments and that "the Sterlings may share the same last name, but she does not share his values on race." The Sterlings have been married 57 years, ODonnell said. "We abhor guilt by association in America," ODonnell said. "The sins of the husband cannot be imputed to the wife or children." Shelly and Donald Sterling faced allegations that they discriminated against tenants based on race in Los Angeles according to a lawsuit filed by U.S. Department of Justice in 2006. The Sterlings, who at the time owned and managed about 119 apartment buildings or 5,000 apartments throughout Los Angeles County, agreed to settle the suit for $2.725 million. The settlement also included two suits filed by former tenants at one of the properties, including an African-American family and an interracial married couple with biracial children, who alleged the Sterlings demolished their private yards among other actions because of their race, according to the Justice Department. "The charges against her by former tenants are false, unfounded and were never ever determined to be valid in a court of law," ODonnell said. He said the case was settled without any admission of liability. "She doesnt have a racist bone in her body," ODonnell said. Clippers coach Doc Rivers said Thursday at the teams training facility that "it would be a very hard situation" if Mrs. Sterling retained her portion of ownership in the team. "I guarantee you every person wouldnt be on board with that," Rivers said. "Whether I would or not, Im not going to say." ODonnell said Mrs. Sterling hasnt been asked to stay away from games and will not. She is an ardent Clippers fan and plans to attend Friday nights playoff game against Oklahoma City. Rivers said "thats her choice. She can be a ticket buyer or whatever." Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a former NBA All-Star guard who was asked to serve as a spokesman for NBA players after the Sterling scandal broke, didnt immediately return a call seeking comment.

Marian Hossa scored two goals and Chicago defeated Dallas 5-2. Patrick Sharp assisted on the Blackhawks first four goals. Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane also scored before Niklas Hjalmarsson finished the scoring with a short-handed empty-net goal. The Stars failed to score on any of their six power plays. Chicagos penalty-killing unit was ranked last in the NHL, but it was good enough to stop all of Dallas power-play chances. The Stars are 0 for 24 power plays at home this season. Hossa said the Blackhawks penalty killing is "definitely getting better and better, and were getting on the same page." "Technically, we didnt get a power-play goal," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said, "but (the Stars first goal) came at the end of one and it was still 5-on-4. "We had some good opportunities we didnt convert. We got some good looks that could have been a game-changer right there." In contrast, Kanes goal was just 23 seconds into Chicagos only power play of the game, 18:15 into the second period. It was the Blackhawks only shot with a man advantage. "It was frustrating with all of the penalties early," Sharp said. "We were patient and we capitalized on the power play. We knew it was going to come sooner than later." The Blackhawks used two short passes across the ice, from Sharp and Andrew Shaw to Kane, to set up that go-ahead goal at 18:15 of the second period. Dallas Cody Eakin had lost the puck on a one-man rush into the Chicago end. The Stars were late getting back before Kanes shot from the right circle beat Kari Lehtonen. "The changing point was on a turnover by myself," Eakin said. "We have to be a little sharper. I thought we played a good game, but we had a few too many turnovers." Ruff said: "They took advantage of a big mistake. We had a really big error on killing a penalty and should have walked out of the second period probably at 2-2. "In the end, we gave the game away, and that hurts." The Blackhawks took advantage. "Basically, it was one of those nights where special teams was the differential," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "Our penalty kill led the charge. It was a great goal for the power play. I thought overall we played a real strong game discounting thee penalties we took. Authentic DaShawn Hand Jersey. " Before that, the Blackhawks twice rallied from one-goal deficits. Hossa evened the score 1-1 in the first period with an assist from Toews across the goalmouth, after Eakin had scored for Dallas. Hossa said: "As soon as (Toews) got in position, I tried to find open space for putting the puck in the net, and he found me beautifully. He did an excellent job behind the goal." Eakin scored at the end of what was virtually a 4-minute power play because of consecutive minor penalties against Chicago. Hjalmarsson had barely returned to the ice from serving a tripping penalty when Trevor Daley took a backhand shot. Chicago goalie Corey Crawford tried to control the rebound, but Dallas Shawn Horcoff and Eakin poked at the puck and it crossed the goal line. Crawford finished with 31 saves. Eakin scored at 6:10, 2 seconds after Hjalmarssons penalty had expired. He had gone into the penalty box just 1 second after teammate Brandon Saads high sticking penalty ended. Chicagos late first-period rally pulled the Blackhawks within one shot on goal of the Stars at 11-10. In the second period, Dallas continued to put pressure on Crawford. It paid off at 6:54. Tyler Seguin took a pass from Jamie Benn and fired in a shot from an angle low in the right faceoff circle. The Blackhawks continued to frustrate the Stars power play, killing off two more in the period. Chicago tied the score 2-2 at 10:19. Lehtonen stopped a short-range shot by Toews, but Toews manoeuvred around defenceman Brenden Dillon to knock in his own rebound. Lehtonen finished with 26 saves. Sharp credited his teammates for his four assists. "One of those nights where you try to make the right play, and my linemates were putting the puck in the net." Dallas goalie stopped a breakaway by Kane 23 seconds before the period ended. The final two goals came 34 seconds apart in the third period. Hossa scored on a breakaway, and Hjalmarsson followed with a shot the length of the ice for his empty-net goal at 18:53. Notes: The Stars finished with a 33-31 advantage in shots. .
