No.10 UCLA (22-3, 9-3) used a 20-3 second half run to rally from 19 points down to topple No.5 Oregon (21-4, 10-2) 82-79, Thursday night at Pauley Pavilion. Oregon is now second in the Pac-12 after No.9 Arizona’s 74-67 win over Stanford.

It was a tale of two halves for the Ducks. At halftime, they held a 48-39 lead, and at one point led by 19.

But the Bruins, who average over 90 points per game, never stopped fighting and ended the first half on a 21-11 run.

Oregon actually held a 15-point lead in the second half after a Tyler Dorsey (19 points, 7-17 from the field) 3-pointer with 14 minutes left. But UCLA got hot down the stretch.

About 10 minutes later, Aaron Holiday (15 points, 7 rebounds off the bench) drilled a 3-pointer to give UCLA its first lead of the night, a lead that they would never relinquished.

Despite their second half struggles, Oregon kept UCLA from pulling away. A 3-pointer from Pritchard cut the Bruins lead to 77-75 with under a minute left. But UCLA freshman superstar Lonzo Ball (15 points, 11 rebounds) drilled a step-back three with 32 seconds left, putting the Bruins up 80-75.

Oregon did have a chance to tie it on it’s last possession, but Pritchard’s shot came up well short at the buzzer.

In what was a role reversal from their last meeting, it was the Ducks who couldn’t capitalize in crunch time. Over the last 12 minutes of regulation, the Ducks went 3-17 from the field, enabling a 28-12 Bruins run to end the game.

Dillon Brooks and Dorsey lead the way for Oregon, each scoring 19 points on 7-17 shooting.

Ball and Holiday paced the Bruins with 15 each, as five UCLA players scored in double digits.

The Ducks cap their Southern California roadtrip on Saturday when they visit USC.
