LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) -- Malcolm Lee scored 23 points and UCLA overcame a 14-point first-half deficit to beat Stanford 68-57 Saturday for its fourth straight victory.

Lazeric Jones added 17 points, Tyler Honeycutt scored 16 points and Reeves Nelson had 10 rebounds for the Bruins (13-6, 5-2 Pac-10), who have won 10 of 12 overall and nine of their last 11 against Stanford.
