Tony Parker scored a season-high 22 points and snared six rebounds for UCLA Thursday, leading the Bruins to a 91-74 men’s basketball rout of Stanford in a Pac-12 game played at Pauley Pavilion.

The loss snapped a three-game Cardinal winning streak, and gives the Bruins nine wins in their last 11 outings against Stanford. In fact, the Cardinal have lost nine consecutive games at Pauley Pavilion, a streak that goes back to 2005.

Jordan Adams added 19 points for UCLA, followed by Norman Powell and Kyle Anderson with 13 each and 10 from Zach Levine. Anderson also had 10 assists and seven boards.

The Bruins improved to 15-4 overall, 4-2 in the Pac-12.

Dwight Powell led Stanford (12-6, 3-3) with 17 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks. Chasson Randle, who battled through 3 of 16 field goal shooting, finished with 14 points and four assists. John Huestis added 13 boards and four assists to go with 12 points, and Anthony Brown also finished with 12 points for the Cardinal.

Stanford took its last lead on the game at 23-21 on a John Gage 3-pointer in the first half. From there, UCLA went on a 21-8 run and led 42-31 at halftime. The Cardinal never got any closer than 10 points in the second half.

The Cardinal’s LA road trip continues with a Sunday afternoon date at Southern California.
