Louis Blues in a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. Shattenkirk was the
second shooter for the Blues and he buried a wrister past Cam Ward, while Jake
Allen stopped Eric Staals wrister for the win. Allen made 26 saves, while David
Backes and Ryan Reaves scored in regulation for the Blues, who have won four
straight. Justin Faulk and Ryan Murphy lit the lamp for the Hurricanes, who had
a three- game winning streak snapped. Ward stopped 29 shots he faced through
overtime in relief of Anton Khudobin, who was pulled from the start after
allowing two goals on three shots. The Blues needed just 1:48 to get on the
board as Steve Ott sent a pass from the left boards to the circle where Reaves
beat Khudobin with a wrister for his fifth of the year. Less than two minutes
later, St. Louis made it a 2-0 game when Alex Pietrangelo passed the puck from
the right corner back to the circle and Backes one-timed it in. That spelled the
end for Khudobin, with Ward taking over in net. The Hurricanes made it a 2-1
game at 10:57 of the opening frame, as Faulks wrister from the high slot tipped
off a Blue and found its way to the back of the net. Skating on the power play
in the second period, Murphys one-timer from the high slot went through a screen
and in for his first of the season at 14:19. Game Notes St. Louis plays in
Washington on Sunday afternoon ... Carolina plays in New York against the
Rangers on Saturday ... The Hurricanes scored on their only power play, while
the Blues were held off the board on their lone man advantage.

. It was easy to point to the quarterback position--too many injuries, not
enough talent or experience otherwise.

. Beginning this season, teams will be permitted to challenge an on-field call
once during each half of the game, for a maximum total of two challenges. SAN
ANTONIO -- Tony Parker shooed away the NBA coach of the year. The San Antonio
Spurs were ahead 36 points and he didnt want Gregg Popovich to end his night
just yet. "To stay in shape," Parker said. Thats how bad it got for the Utah
Jazz. It was the third quarter of a playoff game, and Parker by then was
practically treating it as just another workout. Pummeling the Jazz in a fashion
not seen since Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls humiliated them in the 1998
NBA Finals, San Antonio handed Utah its second-worst playoff loss, winning
114-83 on Wednesday night to take 2-0 lead in the first-round series. Parker
scored 18 points, while Popovich -- a day after receiving the NBAs highest
coaching honour -- could practically put the Spurs on autopilot after a 20-0 run
in the second quarter. Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin had admitted to being unusually
jittery before losing Game 1, but this time, it was centre Al Jefferson summing
up how this shiner felt. "Embarrassing," he said. The only bigger embarrassment
for the Jazz in the playoffs was that 42-point loss to Jordans Bulls in 1998.
Game 3 is Saturday night in Salt Lake City. Its the first time the Spurs have
led a series 2-0 since opening the 2008 playoffs against Phoenix. San Antonio
won that series in five, and unless the Jazz can shake this off, this one will
be over just as quick. If not sooner. "I cant explain it. I couldnt explain it
the other night," Jazz forward Paul Millsap said. "They came out and just
whipped us." It was a total collapse by the Jazz in spite of flying back to Salt
Lake City after Game 1 and regrouping with two days of practice back home. There
they had talked about adjustments and maybe giving Parker "a hard foul or two"
to get him thinking twice about driving, but Parker didnt seem to have a dent on
him before taking the entire fourth quarter off. Jefferson and Millsap werent
any more imposing on offence than they were defensively. Jefferson scored 10
points, and Millsap had nine. Popovich chalked the blowout more to the Jazz
having a bad night -- they shot 23 per cent in the first half -- than the Spurs
dominating. Parker playyed 28 minutes and Popovich said the decision on when to
take his star out was a struggle between keeping him in condition and not
risking injury.

"He wanted to get the whole quarter, but we compromised and got two more
minutes," Popovich said. "Hes been special for us all year, obviously. We got to
keep him ready to go." The Spurs held the Jazz scoreless for nearly 7 minutes in
the second quarter while rookie Kawhi Leonard and unheralded swingman
Danny Green outplayed the Jazzs stars. The Jazz filed off the court at halftime
walking slow, heads down and quiet after being as close as 31-26 minutes
earlier. Jefferson and Josh Howard, who also had 10 points, were Utahs leading
scorers. It was the most lopsided post-season win for the Spurs since beating
the Nuggets by 28 in 2005. San Antonios playoff record is a 40-point victory
over Denver in 1983. "You dont expect to win a playoff game like that," Green
said. "Theyre a very good team, but they didnt shoot it as well as they liked.
They didnt shoot it as well as they did, and we shot the ball pretty well. Stuff
like that happens." The Spurs have won 12 in a row, a season high after
surrendering two 11-game winning streaks this season by not playing Parker,
Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Duncan finished with 12 points and 13 rebounds.
Leonard scored 17 points, and Green had 13. At least the Jazz didnt look the
most embarrassed the entire night. Popovich again had to show off his coach of
the year trophy before the game, this time for fans while standing between
Duncan and Spurs great David Robinson. Popovich obliged for several seconds
before scrambling to hand the trophy off to one of his assistants as fast as
possible. Notes: The last Jazz team to rally from an 0-2 deficit and win a
playoff series was 2007, when Utah came back to beat Houston in the first round.
The Spurs later beat that team on their way to their fourth championship. ...
Backup Spurs C Tiago Splitter (sprained wrist) was available to play but the
rout gave Popovich the luxury of letting the big man continue to heal. Popovich
said Splitter should be better by Game 3.
