STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -- Stanford desperately needed to save face. Oh, what a time to do it.
Dan Grunfeld scored six straight points during a decisive second-half run and finished with a career-high 29, and Stanford snapped No. 13 Arizona's nine-game winning streak with an 87-76 victory Saturday.
Chris Hernandez, the Cardinal's starting point guard, returned to the lineup after missing Thursday night's game against Arizona State with back spasms. He scored 23 in his team's best showing yet under first-year coach Trent Johnson.
Hernandez got cleared to play only an hour and a half before tipoff. Johnson was hesitant to use his star player, but gave in once doctors said it was OK.
``I didn't want to get in a fist fight with Chris right now,'' Johnson said before heading to the airport to go recruiting. ``He showed a lot of character. Chris is Chris.''
