LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Smith scored 16 points and UCLA shook off coronavirus-induced rust to hold off Utah 72-70 for the Bruins’ fifth straight home win.

UCLA (6-2, 2-0 Pac-12) hadn’t played since losing to Ohio State on Dec. 19 in Cleveland.

The Utes (4-2, 1-1) had been idle since beating Idaho on Dec. 18.

Both teams had games postponed due to COVID-19.

Alfonso Plummer led the Utes with a season-high 22 points, making four 3-pointers. Timmy Allen added 18 points. The Utes never got off a final shot after Pelle Larsson turned the ball over with 3 seconds to go.
