The second time was the charm for Jaylen Clark, who connected on his second 3-point attempt of No. 10-ranked UCLA’s game-winning possession to stave off visiting USC’s second-half rally and win 60–58 in Los Angeles on Thursday, Jan. 5.
The Bruins (14-2, 5-0 Pac-12) coughed up an 18-point halftime lead, the result of a dismal shooting performance in the second half. UCLA scored just 16 points after intermission, shooting 5-of-22 from the floor, 2–of–11 from beyond the 3-point arc, and 4–of–10 at the foul line.
