Isaiah Thomas recorded his first double-double of the season with 27 points and 13 assists and No. 18 Washington rebounded from its first Pac-10 loss with a 92-71 win over host California.
Washington’s Justin Holiday added a career-high 23 points, including five 3-pointers, and the Huskies (13-4, 5-1 Pac-10) led 48-33 at halftime. Washington shot 34 of 65 (52.3 percent) from the field after struggling offensively in Thursday’s 58-56 loss at Stanford.
Matthew Bryan-Amaning recorded his sixth double-double this season with 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Huskies, who led by 20 early in the second half and were never threatened.
Harper Kamp had 20 points and seven rebounds to pace Cal (9-8, 2-3). After scoring a career-high 30 points in Cal’s win over Washington State on Thursday, Allen Crabbe finished with 16 against the Huskies. Richard Solomon added 14 points on 5-of-5 shooting for the Bears.
Cal was outrebounded 38-25 by Washington and simply couldn’t stop Thomas, who scored 18 points in the first half and became the first Husky player to record 10-plus assists since 2006. The Pac-10 leader in assists, Thomas has tallied at least seven in the past eight games.
On defense, Washington limited Cal to 26 of 57 (45.6 percent) from the field, and the Bears were just 17 of 30 (56.7 percent) from the free throw line.
