LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matt Bradley scored 17 points, but a cold shooting night for the Golden Bears overall helped UCLA defeat California 50-40 Sunday night in Pauley Pavilion.

Bradley was the lone Bear to score in double figures as Cal shot under 35 percent for the second consecutive game. The Bears shot 30.4 percent (17-56) for the game.

D.J. Thorpe and Paris Austin each recorded career-high rebound totals with 9 and 8, respectively.

Chris Smith scored 17 points, Jalen Hill and Jaime Jaquez Jr. each added 11 points.

Not much has gone right for the Bruins this season, unless they defend. UCLA (9-9, 2-3 Pac-12) is 9-0 when holding opponents to 73 points or fewer.

Cal remains winless on the road this season.

UCLA went on an 14-0 run midway through the second half to take a 38-25 lead. Smith had eight of those points, including a three-point play, a shot off the glass and a 3-pointer. Tyger Campbell hit a 3 in that stretch and had an assist off a drive-and-dish on Smith's 3-pointer.

Hill scored all of his points in the first half. He scored on two dunks, including a putback, and turn-around jumpers in the lane.

UCLA led 22-21 at halftime. The teams combined to shoot just 2 of 13 from 3-point range in the first half, in which the Bruins led by as many as eight points.
