SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Delon Wright had 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals to lead a balanced offense for No. 10 Utah in a 71-39 rout of UCLA on Sunday.

Jakob Poeltl had nine points and 10 rebounds for the Utes (12-2, 2-0 Pac-12), who beat the Bruins in Salt Lake City for the second straight season.

Tony Parker scored 12 points to lead UCLA, who lost its fifth straight. The Bruins (8-7, 0-2 Pac-12) trailed from start to finish.

The Bruins shot just 29 percent from the field and were 1 of 11 from 3-point range.

Utah’s speed and efficient shooting overwhelmed UCLA right from the start. Then the Utes’ defense finished off the Bruins, who had a long scoring drought in each half.
