Norman Powell had 13 points and Kyle Anderson collected 13
points, 10 assists and seven rebounds for UCLA (15-4, 4-2
Pac-12), which bounced back from last Saturday's loss at Utah by
forcing 19 turnovers. Zach LaVine chipped in 10 points and six
assists to help the Bruins snap Stanford's three-game winning
streak.
Dwight Powell led Stanford (12-6, 3-3) with 17 points and 13
rebounds while Josh Huestis contributed 12 points and 12 boards.
Leading scorer Chasson Randle, who matched his career-high with
33 points in last Saturday's win over Washington, missed 13 of
his 16 shots and finished with 14 points.
The Cardinal trailed by as many as 14 in the first half before
cutting the deficit to 42-31 at the break. LaVine hit a
3-pointer with just under 13 minutes remaining to put UCLA ahead
55-39, and the Bruins cruised to their ninth straight win over
Stanford at Pauley Pavilion.
Stanford cut the lead to 12 points on Anthony Brown's 3-pointer
with 2:12 to play, but UCLA refused to let the Cardinal edge any
closer. The Bruins shot 52.3 percent from the field and
surpassed the 70-point mark for the first time in their last
three games.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Stanford committed 11 of its season-high 19
turnovers in the first half. … UCLA twin forwards David and
Travis Wear were held to a combined six points and four rebounds
while collecting four fouls apiece. … Stanford, which committed
less than 10 turnovers in each of its previous three games, fell
