SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Cole Bajema and Keba Keita scored 14 points apiece, Brandon Carlson added a double-double and Utah ended a seven-game losing streak to UCLA with a 90-44 victory on Thursday night.

The Utes (12-4, 3-2 Pac-12 Conference) just missed handing the Bruins (6-10, 1-4) their worst conference loss in program history. That came on Jan. 9, 1997, when Stanford rolled to a 48-point victory (109-61). UCLA has lost four in a row for the second time this season. They have not lost five straight since February 1990.

Bajema sank 4 of 7 from 3-point range for Utah. Keita came off the bench to hit 6 of 10 shots. Carlson finished with 12 points and 14 rebounds, blocking three shots. Carlson is one of 21 players nationwide and the only member of the Pac-12 with at least 1,500 career points and 600 rebounds. Gabe Madsen had 11 points and five rebounds. Reserve Deivon Smith hit three 3-pointers and scored 11, adding eight assists and four rebounds.

Carlson had seven points, eight rebounds and all three blocks in the first half, Keita scored seven and Utah took a 33-23 lead into intermission. Utah shot 40.7% and made 4 of 13 from 3-point range and 7 of 10 from the free-throw line. UCLA missed 20 of 30 shots from the floor, 8 of 9 from distance. The Bruins also missed 4 of 6 at the foul line.

Bajema hit two 3-pointers and scored eight, Keita added seven points in a 25-6 run to begin the second half and the Utes led 58-29 with 11:10 left. UCLA missed 10 of 12 shots during Utah’s run, including all four from distance. Bajema hit a 3-pointer to give Utah a 50-point lead (87-37) with 3:03 remaining. Ilane Fibleuit hit a 3-pointer and Brandon Williams hit a jumper in a 5-2 game-ending spurt to help the Bruins avoid their worst defeat. Dylan Andrews scored nine to lead UCLA.
