Paul was brilliant with 18 points, five rebounds, 14 assists and two steals. Blake Griffin has 21 points and 10 rebounds while handing the Bobcats their 14th straight loss.

UCLA started off well against Cal on Saturday afternoon at the LA Sports Arena because Joshua Smith started off well. And he didn't even start.
