 Kyle Anderson contributed 17 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists
for UCLA (13-3, 2-1 Pac-12), which bounced back from Thursday's
four-point loss to top-ranked Arizona. Jordan Adams scored 15
points, Bryce Alford had 13 and Norman Powell finished with 11 for
the Bruins.
Jermaine Marshall scored 25 points to lead Arizona State (13-4,
2-2). Jordan Bachynski added 14 points and eight rebounds, Jonathan
Gilling finished with 10 points and leading scorer Jahii Carson
added nine, but shot just 4-for-17 from the field in a foul-plagued
game.
The Bruins seized the lead for good on LaVine's 3-pointer with just
under 14 minutes left in the first half, which was one of two 3s by
LaVine in the 14-0 run that put UCLA on top 20-12. The lead
ballooned to as much as 20 points in the first half before the
Bruins settled for a 50-33 halftime lead.

The Sun Devils got UCLA's attention by scoring five
unanswered points in the opening minute of the second half but
their momentum was halted when Carson left the game with his
fourth foul with just under 15 minutes remaining. The Bruins
quickly stretched their lead back to 21 on Anderson's
three-point play with just over 13 minutes left, which provided
adequate cushion when Arizona State trimmed the deficit back to
nine with just under 6 1/2 minutes remaining.
