<p>As Arron Afflalo galloped down the floor after draining his second straight 3-pointer to put the Bruins up by 10 early in the game, it wasn't hard to see what was going through the junior guard's head. <br/>Keep feeding me the ball. I'm feeling it. <br/>Afflalo tied his career high with 27 points and also contributed a career-high eight assists as the No. 1 UCLA basketball team (13-0, 2-0 Pac-10) laid a 96-74 pounding on No. 14 Washington (10-3, 0-2). <br/>"I thought Arron played his best game in his career as a Bruin," coach Ben Howland said. "We answered the bell - that's a good team we beat today." <br/>Afflalo and sophomore forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute sparked UCLA early, building a big lead that the Bruins maintained for nearly the whole game. <br/>Mbah a Moute scored the first four points of the game with a nice move inside, a quick steal and a tomahawk slam dunk that brought the season-high crowd of 12,042 to its feet. <br/>Afflalo, meanwhile, didn't let up after hitting his first three jumpers. He finished the first half with 20 points on 8-for-11 shooting, capping it off in style with a long 3-pointer to beat the halftime buzzer. <br/>In the second half, Afflalo played the role of distributor. Afflalo dished out six of his eight assists - many of which came on fast breaks off Washington turnovers - in the second half and was 3-for-4 from the field. For the game, Afflalo shot 11-for-15 and was 4-for-6 from 3-point range. <br/>With the Bruins out to a big lead midway through the second half, Afflalo was hit in between the eyes by Washington freshman forward Quincy Pondexter and was writhing in pain on the ground as play continued. But as soon as play came to a stop, Afflalo immediately jumped up and waved Howland away, begging to stay in the game. <br/>"Tonight's game was very fun," Afflalo said. "As long as we're able to stick to our defensive principles ? then having that type of freedom to get up and down and get some shots up on offense is fun." <br/>Sunday's game was up tempo. But the Huskies, who are known for their fast-paced style, weren??t the ones dictating the tempo of the game. UCLA forced 22 Husky turnovers, while limiting themselves to just 13 turnovers and had 21 fast-break points to the Huskies' 11. <br/>One of the statistics that made Howland most proud was the assist-turnover ratio of his starting backcourt. Sophomore point guard Darren Collison had 15 points and 12 assists in the game. Collison and Afflalo dished out a combined 20 assists while only turning the ball over twice. <br/>The 29 team assists and 96 points were both single-game highs in Howland's three and a half years at UCLA. <br/>"I think this was our best game by far," Collison said. <br/>Another strong element for the Bruins was the bench. Michael Roll scored 13 of his 15 points in the second half, knocking down three 3-pointers, and sophomore forward/center Ryan Wright, sophomore forward/center Alfred Aboya and freshman forward James Keefe contained Washington's Spencer Hawes and Jon Brockman. <br/>Brockman and Hawes did combine to score 34 points, but they also had nine turnovers as a result of UCLA's defensive pressure. <br/>"We played great defense on Hawes," Howland said. "He's an NBA player. Him and Brockman, they're just warriors. ... They cause a lot of problems." <br/>The Bruins, likely to stay on top of the national rankings after sweeping the Washington schools this weekend, will hit the road to face Oregon State on Thursday and undefeated Oregon on Saturday. <br/>"We have three (consecutive) games on the road," Howland said. "Corvallis, Oregon is next and they will be there loud and ready to go." </p><br><br><a href='; target='_blank'>;
