BERKELEY, Calif. — Jabari Bird scored 20 points to help California win its sixth straight game and maintain its perfect home record with a 75-63 victory over UCLA on Thursday night.
Jaylen Brown added 16 and Tyrone Wallace scored 14 to help the Golden Bears (20-8, 10-5 Pac-12) move within a game of conference leader Oregon with three games left in the regular season and remain in position for a first-round bye in the conference tournament.
Bryce Alford and Tony Parker scored 15 apiece and Isaac Hamilton added 12 points for the Bruins (15-13, 6-9 Pac-12), who have lost four of six games in February to fall into the bottom half of the Pac-12 standings.
The Bears started the second half on a 9-2 run and took their biggest lead at that point when Bird’s 3-pointer made it 42-27.
