UCLA 88, Washington 66:
Norman Powell had 24 points and seven rebounds as the Bruins led wire-to-wire while dominating the visiting Huskies.

Tony Parker had 20 points on 10-of-12 shooting and Isaac Hamilton had his first career double-double with 16 points and 10 assists for UCLA (17-12, 9-7 Pac-12), which was coming off a pair of losses last week in Arizona. The Bruins, who also received nine points and seven rebounds from Kevon Looney and seven points and seven assists from Bryce Alford, shot a season-high 62.7 percent from the floor and owned the glass with a 42-20 rebound advantage.

Andrew Andrews scored 18 points to pace Washington (15-12, 4-11), which lost for the eighth time in nine outings. Nigel Williams-Goss added 17 points and eight assists, and Darin Johnson had 11 points off the bench for the Huskies, who shot only 37.7 percent from the field despite draining a season-high 12 3-pointers in 29 attempts.

UCLA jumped out to a 13-2 lead over the opening 2:45, but Washington was still hanging around at 24-14 with 11:30 remaining in the half. The Bruins, though, closed out the stanza with a 22-11 run to take a 46-25 lead into the break and wound up shooting 64.5 percent from the field and outrebounding the Huskies 24-10 over the opening 20 minutes.

Picking up where it left off, UCLA outscored Washington 7-2 to open the second half and expanded its lead to a game-high 67-36 on a Looney 3-pointer with 11 minutes remaining. Despite connecting on 11 3-pointers over the final 20 minutes, the Huskies never got closer than 20 points in the second half in falling to 2-6 in conference road play.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Washington played without third-leading scorer Shawn Kemp, Jr. (concussion). … UCLA improved to 30-3 at home in two seasons under coach Steve Alford and is 14-1 and averaging 81 points per contest this season. … The Bruins notched their seventh 80-point game of the season, and their 88 points marked a Pac-12 play season high.
