LOS ANGELES – Kyle Anderson recorded a triple-double with 22 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to lead No. 22 UCLA past Cal State San Marcos, 109-79, in an exhibition game on Monday evening.
The Bruins finished with five players in double figures. Tony Parker registered a double-double, logging 17 points and 16 rebounds while also blocking a game-high four shots. David Wear scored 21 points and added eight rebounds.
Malcolm Lemmons led Cal State San Marcos with 20 points, making 7 of 14 field goal attempts.
UCLA’s Jordan Adams filled the stat sheet, logging 16 points, six rebounds, a game-high four steals and three assists. Adams finished a perfect 7-for-7 at the free throw line, helping the Bruins sink 27 of 31 free throws against Cal State San Marcos.
UCLA led the visiting Cougars at halftime, 49-39, and had built a 12-point lead (20-8) nearly six minutes into the contest. Cal State San Marcos trimmed the Bruins’ margin to as few as two points (28-26) with 8:28 left before intermission. UCLA used a 17-10 scoring run over the final 5:29 of the first half to secure a 10-point halftime advantage.
Cal State San Marcos relied on its three-point shooting to stay within reach of UCLA. The Cougars made 14 of 42 three-point shots (33.3 percent) and limited the Bruins to just four of 17 three-pointers (23.5 percent).
UCLA pulled away in the second half, extending its 10-point halftime lead to 19 points (64-45) with 16:41 left in regulation. The Bruins twice led by as many as 32 points late in the second half.
Anchored by Parker in the low post, the Bruins dominated the opposition by a 62-22 margin in the paint. UCLA converted 14 Cal State San Marcos turnovers for 19 points and won the rebounding battle, 60-33.
The Bruins will tip off their regular season against Drexel on Friday, Nov. 8. Game time in Pauley Pavilion is 9 p.m. The contest will be televised live on Pac-12 Networks and will also be available on the radio on AM 570.

UCLA won its second straight men's basketball exhibition game Monday, beating Cal State San Marcos, 109-79, at Pauley Pavilion.
Cal State San Marcos, ranked No. 22 in the preseason NAIA Coaches' Top 25 poll, is coached by Jim Saia and is in only its third year as a basketball program. Saia was once an interim coach at USC, going 10-15 after Henry Bibby was fired midway through the 2004-2005 season.
UCLA will begin its regular season Friday against Drexel from Philadelphia at 9 p.m. PST.
San Diego State beat Cal State San Marcos, 81-66, in an exhibition game last week.
De'End Parker, who had been on UCLA's roster in 2011-2012, is one of four Division I transfers on the Cal State San Marcos roster that has 11 new players from a year ago. Parker had left UCLA for the University of San Francisco.
The Bruins led, 49-39, at halftime with Kyle Anderson leading the way with 15 points and seven rebounds. Starting center Tony Parker, a sophomore who about a year ago was tweeting that he might want to go home to Atlanta, had seven points and nine rebounds.
Cal State San Marcos was led by 12 first-half points from swingman Malcolm Lemmons.
The play that brought most of the small crowd to its feet was a massive dunk by 6-foot-5 UCLA freshman Zach LaVine, two of his four first-half points.
Anderson led UCLA with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Parker finished with 17 points and 16 rebounds and David Wear almost had a double-double with 21 points and eight rebounds.
What else? The Box.
