minutes into the second half. Bird sparked California's comeback with 12 points during a 20-4
run that cut the deficit to 55-52 with seven minutes to play,
but UCLA answered with an 11-3 run and held on for a sweep of
the Bay Area schools. California shot 34.5 percent, one game
after shooting 39.3 percent in Wednesday's 77-69 loss at USC.
