BOX SCORE
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) _ Ryan Forehan-Kelly scored 16 points and as California beat UCLA 92-63 on Thursday night to extend its winning streak to four games. Solomon Hughes and Sean Lampley each added 11 points for the Bears (6-2, 15-5), who have won 14 consecutive home games. Cal also has won 14 of its last 16, its best stretch since Jason Kidd and Lamont Murray led the Bears in 1994. Cal's only losses since Dec. 5 have been to Arizona and Stanford. It was Cal's largest margin of victory since a 34-point win over Albany on Dec. 11, and UCLA's worst loss of the season. Jason Kapono scored 15 points and Earl Watson had 13 for the Bruins (6-2, 12-6), who had a two-game winning streak snapped. UCLA had won eight of its previous nine. Last season, UCLA overcame a 19-point first-half deficit to beat Cal 83-62 at Haas Pavilion. After the Bruins opened the second half with a basket, Cal went on a 17-7 run to open a 30-point lead. Cal eventually led by as many as 32 points, UCLA's largest deficit of the season. While neither team was ranked, both are among the top 20 in the power ratings. Anything the Bears tried in the first half seemed to work, as nine players scored in the game's first 10 minutes to help Cal open a 32-12 edge. Cal used a 14-2 run early in the contest to build the lead. The Bears made 12 of their first 15 shots (80 percent), including 5-of-6 from 3-point range. Meanwhile, the Bruins struggled from everywhere on the court. They missed nine of their first 13 shots and finished the half shooting just over 32 percent. UCLA was 1-of-11 from 3-point range. At one point during a first-half timeout, Bruins coach Steve Lavin came out to argue a call with an official. The Cal rooting section greeted him with the chant, ``Get Pitino, Get Pitino,'' and held up signs with Rick Pitino's face on it that read ``I got next, Lavin.'' Cal led by 10 points or more for all but six minutes of the game. The Bears led by as many as 22 points before settling for a 48-28 halftime advantage.
