 LOS ANGELES (AP) - With the regular season winding down, Lorenzo Mata has gone from laughingstock to threat at the free-throw line. Fourth-ranked UCLA needed his clutch shooting against California.
Josh Shipp scored 22 points and Mata added a career-high 14 to lead a second-half comeback in an 85-75 victory Thursday night that extended the Bruins' home winning streak to 19 games.
Typically, the sight of Mata stepping to the line induces cringes among UCLA fans. He came into the game averaging 30 percent, worst on the team.
