Your UCLA Bruins (12-11) rolled into Maples Pavilion on Wednesday night and beat the Stanford Cardinal on their home court, 82-74.

Their 82 points set a new season high. 

It was a physical matchup that found both teams in foul trouble down the stretch, but the Bruins were able to withstand the adversity and come away with the road victory. Their winning streak now improves to four games. They've also won seven of their last eight games.

The Bruins also used an all-hands-on-deck approach with 11 players seeing playing time and eight players scoring at least one point.

UCLA's offense set a new season-high with 11 three-pointers made. The Bruins shot 44 percent from behind the arc (11-for-25) and had five players finish in double figures.

Sebastian Mack led all scorers with 21 points. Adem Bona had 16, Dylan Andrews scored 12, Will McClendon set a new season-high with 13, and Lazar Stefanovic added 10. 

Mack got the Bruins on the board first with this bucket. The two points were the first of 12 for him in the first half.

UCLA led for most of the first frame, thanks to Mack's clutch points like these back-to-back three-pointers.

The Bruins took a two-point lead into halftime. Bona and Stefanovic combined for nine of UCLA's 17 first-half rebounds.

Mack stayed hot with nine points in the second half. 

Bona was a huge presence, scoring nine points in the second half and putting the finishing touch on Stanford. He fouled out with less than a minute to play.

UCLA now sits two games back of first place in the Pac-12. The Bruins' next game is Saturday afternoon against the California Golden Bears. Tip-off is at 2:30 p.m.
