No. 5 UCLA beats Colorado 73-61 in Pac-12 opener

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Spurred on by Russell Westbrook's courtside encouragement, Tyger Campbell kept firing away.

Campbell scored 21 points, tying his career high with four 3-pointers, and No. 5 UCLA recovered after blowing most of a 17-point first-half lead to beat Colorado 73-61 on Wednesday night in the Bruins’ Pac-12 opener.

“I always try to play confident. I like to take big shots,” said Campbell, who was one off his career high of 22 points. “My teammates were finding me. I just got some good looks and I knocked them down.”

Campbell finished with seven rebounds, five assists and one turnover in 33 minutes with Westbrook watching it all.
