Kobe Johnson scored 12 points, grabbed six rebounds and added five assists, and a stifling UCLA defense shut down Cal State Fullerton en route to an 80-47 victory on Friday in Los Angeles. UCLA (5-1) won its fourth straight game, all by double-digit margins, and remained perfect at home, thanks in part to a strong defensive effort. The Bruins held Cal State Fullerton (1-5) to 15-of-52 shooting from the floor, 28.8 percent, while forcing the Titans into 21 turnovers. UCLA converted those takeaways into 27 points. Although the Bruins never trailed, their defense did not completely take over until late in the first half.
