Clippers rout Warriors, even playoff series
LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffin scored a career playoff-high 35 points without a foul and the Los Angeles Clippers led all the way in routing the Golden State Warriors 138-98 Monday night to even their first-round series at a game apiece.Chris Paul added 12 points and 10 assists for the Clippers, who started the game on a 14-4 run and kept on going, maintaining a sizeable double-digit lead through the final three quarters. They finished with a franchise record points for a playoff game. All the foul trouble that plagued Griffin and Paul in the Clippers’ four-point loss in Game 1 belonged to the Warriors this time. Stephen Curry scored 20 of his 24 points in the third quarter, when the Warriors never got closer than 25 points, while playing with four fouls. Klay Thompson finished with seven points — 15 under his average — and four fouls. Andre Iguodala, who fouled out of Game 1, and Jermaine O’Neal had four points and three fouls each.Game 3 is Thursday at Oakland.Los Angeles shot 57 percent, made 12 of 25 3-pointers, hit 32 of 35 free throws and owned a 25-13 edge in fastbreak points.The Clippers’ lead grew to a 37-point bulge early in the fourth on a 3-pointer by Matt Barnes, their only starter who played albeit briefly in the final period. He finished with 13 points. Danny Granger had 15 points before fouling out. DeAndre Jordan had 11 points and nine rebounds. The teams with a history of bad blood between them jawed in the fourth, when Clippers Hedo Turkoglu and Glen Davis got into it with Marreese Speights of the Warriors. Davis and Speights were called for double technicals.The Warriors’ frustration boiled over with 42 seconds left when Jordan Crawford was called for a flagrant foul-1 for shoving Darren Collison who was bringing the ball upcourt.Griffin had 21 points in 20 minutes of the first half, one minute more than he played in the Clippers’ loss on Saturday. He fouled out of that game, when Paul was also in foul trouble and made several mistakes in the closing minutes after the Clippers rallied to tie the game late.The Clippers got off to a 14-4 start, similar to their 12-1 start of two days ago. This time, though, the referees’ whistles were blowing at the Warriors. Thompson, O’Neal and Iguodala all had three each by halftime, when they trailed 67-41. Golden State had 33 fouls to 22 for the Clippers.The Clippers outscored Golden State by 11 points in the opening quarter and by 15 in the second. Curry got double-teamed for the second straight game, and he struggled offensively, making just one basket and two free throws in the first half.The Clippers’ second unit grew the lead from 11 points to 21 in the second, helped by consecutive 3-pointers from Jamal Crawford, Turkoglu and Granger. The starters came back in and had just four baskets the rest of the quarter while hitting 9 of 11 free throws to stretch the lead at the break.Thompson got whistled for his fourth foul barely a minute into the third. David Lee, who had a double-double in Game 1, had 11 points.

Stars shutout Ducks in Game 3
DALLAS — Kari Lehtonen had 37 saves, with some tremendous stops, for his first career postseason victory, and the Dallas Stars beat Anaheim 3-0 Monday night in their first home playoff game in six years.Dallas captain Jamie Benn skated out of the penalty box to score late in the first period, and 19-year-old rookie Valeri Nichushkin added a goal for the Stars in Game 3 of the best-of-seven series. The top-seeded Ducks won each of the first two games at home, both one-goal results.Game 4 is Wednesday night.Lehtonen, who held up through five Anaheim power plays, had a kick save near the end of one of those in the final minute of the first period. That came right before Benn came out of the penalty box and skated toward the other end for the winning goal.

Blackhawks blank Blues in Game 3
Corey Crawford made 34 saves in his third career postseason shutout, and the Blackhawks got back into their playoff series with the St. Louis Blues with a 2-0 victory in Game 3 on Monday night.Jonathan Toews and Marcus Kruger scored as the defending Stanley Cup champions bounced back after a pair of overtime losses in St. Louis. Toews’ 21st postseason goal was only the second score by a Blackhawks forward in the series.Ryan Miller shook off another slow start and finished with 23 saves, but Toews’ shot at 4:10 of the first went through the goaltender’s legs and was costly.It was quite a turnaround for Crawford, who was upset with his play after Saturday’s 4-3 loss. Barret Jackman’s winning goal in Game 2 went through Crawford, prompting the goaltender to say he had to play better for Chicago to win.Just two days later, he came up with one of the best games of his career.Crawford seemed to be in the right place at the right time all night, drawing chants of “Co-rey! Co-rey from the capacity crowd at the United Center. He was helped by a sound performance by Duncan Keith and the rest of the Blackhawks’ defensemen, who stepped up while playing without the suspended Brent Seabrook.The Blues, who scored tying goals late in regulation in each of the first two games, pulled Miller with 57 seconds left, but the Blackhawks held on. Kruger stuffed home an empty-netter in the final seconds.Game 4 is Wednesday night.Each team was without a key contributor after Seabrook wiped out Blues center David Backes with a big hit in Game 2. The five-minute major and game misconduct penalty for Seabrook led to Vladimir Tarasenko’s tying power-play goal with 6.4 seconds left.Seabrook was suspended for three games by the NHL, putting Sheldon Brookbank in the lineup for the first time in the series. Playing with Keith, Brookbank turned in a solid performance in his 19th career playoff game.While Backes was held out with an upper-body injury, center Patrik Berglund returned for the Blues after missing three games with an upper-body injury. Berglund, who had 14 goals and 18 assists this season, skated behind the net for a nice wraparound opportunity in the first period, but was turned away by Chicago defenseman Nick Leddy.Seabrook’s hit on Backes, and at least one knee-on-knee blow by Bryan Bickell, increased the tension between Central Division rivals. But Game 3 was surprisingly civil, with each team wary of another penalty that could swing the series. There was a lot of chirping from each side, and that was about it.Looking for a spark, Chicago coach Joel Quenneville put Toews, Patrick Kane and Bickell on the same line for the start of Game 3. The trio had a lot of success in the Blackhawks’ run to the title last year.The move worked.Toews connected from the top of the left point in the first, beating Miller with a shot that might have deflected off the stick of Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk. Bickell also created a couple of quality chances with some slick passing.

Alex Avila brought a run home with a groundout, but Danks got out of the jam thanks to two consecutive popups.The Chicago left-hander went on to post his fourth consecutive quality start to begin the season.Sanchez looked even better until the game slowed to a crawl in the seventh.

Penguins take 2-1 series lead in Columbus
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Brandon Sutter, Lee Stempniak and Olli Maatta scored in a span of 2:13 of the third period to revive the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 4-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night.Pittsburgh took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven playoff series thanks to the goals on three consecutive shots.Brooks Orpik added a goal in the final seconds of the second period as the Penguins stormed back from deficits of 2-0 and 3-1. Marc Andre-Fleury had 27 saves.Boone Jenner and Jack Johnson staked the Blue Jackets to an early lead in the opening 3:18, with Cam Atkinson getting credit for a goal early in the final period that stretched the lead to 3-1.But then the Penguins found their game, dominating with a 41-20 advantage in shots on goal and controlling the pace to disappoint a raucous overflow crowd of 19,148. Beau Bennett and Paul Martin each had two assists for the Penguins, as did Brandon Dubinsky for the Blue Jackets, who were trying for their first playoff victory at home. They were 0-5 in the postseason until pulling off a stunning 4-3 double-overtime victory Saturday night in Pittsburgh.Down 3-1 after Dubinsky’s twirling backhander went in off Atkinson’s glove just over a minute into the final period, the Penguins found another gear.Martin’s shot from the point was redirected by Sutter cut the lead to a goal. Stempniak took a short pass from Kris Letang and waded in from the right wing, beating goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who finished with 37 saves, 1:10 later.Then Maatta’s shot from the point glanced in off defenseman James Wisniewski, thoroughly deflating a crowd waiting to celebrate an historic win.All three games have ended up 4-3, with one team building a 3-1 edge.Columbus’ last best chance came with 30 seconds left when Fleury made a blocker save on Ryan Johansen’s hard shot.For years, Penguins fans flooded into Nationwide Arena and had little opposition when they led “Let’s go, Pens!” cheers. But Columbus’ front office sold playoff tickets to Ohio addresses first, cutting down on long-distance buyers. As a result, the crowd was loud and decidedly partisan for the Blue Jackets.

Parsons, Lake Zurich have a blast
In between the small raindrops, a softball game at Lake Zurich featured some big blasts and some quality pitching. And for those late-arriving guests, missing the first inning was not a good move. That’s when Warren slugger Megan Scott launched a two-out, 2-run homer to center field. And in the bottom half of the frame, both LZ’s Mallory Parsons and freshman Amanda Guercio answered with blasts of their own. Seven runs scored in the first inning — and then both hurlers, Olivia Schneider for Lake Zurich and Jana Wagner for Warren, settled down. Parsons’ blast came with the sacks loaded and set the tone for Lake Zurich’s 8-3 NSC Lake Division win on Monday.

Try selling your solution, not your product
Not quite random thoughts about small businesses: • Remember what you’re selling, which for the more successful among us most often is a solution to a customer’s problem. If you run a hardware store, you’re helping customers solve plumbing problems or lawn care issues.If you’re a sales consultant, you’re selling a way to help your prospect’s sales team improve its numbers, not a sales training package.Selling a solution to a problem is different from pitching a widget or other product — and requires a different selling approach. You have to know what’s bothering your prospect; the glories of your widgets aren’t enough.I like the question manufacturing sage Paul Heinze (Paul M. Heinze Co., Barrington Hills) asks early in his conversations: What keeps you awake at night?• Form strategic alliances. Own a restaurant? Offer the most popular flavors sold by the local ice cream parlor for dessert; promote them with a tent card on your tables. In return, the store can put up a poster for your restaurant and each week hold a drawing for a free dinner at your place.If yours is a breakfast stop, work a similar alliance with an up-and-coming local bakery.• Know your referrers and treat them like the important people they are. For many of us, especially service providers, our referral base is the key to success. That means a thank-you note to the accountant who referred one of her clients to you; the same to a municipal economic planner who suggested your services to a potential new business in town and to the consultant who brought you in on an assignment.Treat your best referral sources to lunch. Remember, however, that the best thank you is a return referral: If you have a client looking for IT help or a reliable auto repair shop, think first of the folks who’ve helped you.• More mothers are staying home with the kids, although 71 percent of all U.S. mothers work outside the home. And, perhaps sadly, a growing number of Moms are home because they can’t find a job — six percent today compared to one percent in 2000 according to the Pew Research Center, Washington, D.C.Still, if Moms are your market, there might be an opportunity in, for example, Mother-and-baby exercise classes or baby-sitting services.With annual household incomes of about $130,000, working mothers not surprisingly have more money to spend. Trying offering many of the same services evenings or weekends.• Know your market, not only so you can provide the products or services your customers want but so you know how to reach them.Sell to seniors? Provide senior-oriented services? You likely can reach the 65-plus crowd on the Internet.Pew says that almost 60 percent of seniors use the Internet; more than 70 percent are on every day. Slightly more than 25 percent even use social networking sites.Ideas perking yet?• © 2014 Kendall Communications, Inc.

TreeHouse Foods buying Protenergy for about $150M
Oak Brook-based TreeHouse Foods is buying private label food and beverage company Protenergy Natural Foods for 170 million Canadian dollars (about $150 million).Canada’s Protenergy is mostly known for its private label broth, soups and gravies. Its 2013 sales amounted to 130 million Canadian dollars.TreeHouse makes various products including non-dairy powdered creamers, private-label canned soups and salad dressings.“The acquisition of Protenergy is expected to expand our existing packaging capabilities and enables us to offer customers a full range of soup products, both wet and dry. The addition of Protenergy is also expected to leverage our research and development capabilities in the evolution of shelf stable liquids from cans to cartons,” TreeHouse Chairman, President and CEO Sam Reed said in a statement on Monday. TreeHouse Foods Inc. is buying Protenergy from Whitecastle Investments Ltd., Whitecap Venture Partners and others. Protenergy has about 300 employees with headquarters in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, and operates a second production facility in Cambridge, Md.The acquisition will impact TreeHouse’s 2014 earnings by about 5 cents to 7 cents per share and add about 11 cents to 14 cents to earnings per share in 2015.The transaction is targeted to close late in the second quarter. TreeHouse also confirmed that it expects first-quarter adjusted earnings between 77 cents and 80 cents per share. Sales for the period were better than expected, up about 15 percent to approximately $619 million. The Oak Brook, Ill., company reaffirmed its forecast for 2014 earnings of $3.50 to $3.60 per share. The guidance doesn’t account for the additional earnings anticipated from the Protenergy deal.Analysts polled by FactSet predict first-quarter earnings of 79 cents per share on revenue of $612.3 million. Full-year earnings are expected to be $3.57 per share.

Mafia unworthy of academics’ obsession
