The shots kept falling. The crowd’s cheers grew louder. Londynn Jones’ face stayed straight.
Draining threes is just what the UCLA sophomore does.
Jones’ career-high 23 points, including seven-of-10 three-point shooting, led No. 12 UCLA to an 82-52 win over No. 18 Utah on Thursday at Pauley Pavilion. Jones’ red-hot shooting started UCLA’s final push toward the postseason with a dominant victory that avenged an overtime loss to the Utes in Salt Lake City last month.
Sophomore Lauren Betts added 14 points and six rebounds, and fifth-year guard Charisma Osborne, playing in the final regular-season homestand of her career, had 13 points and seven assists.
