Tyrell Terry's 3-pointer with 1:37 remaining broke a tie, and Stanford's defense forced two key turnovers in the final minute as the Cardinal overtook visiting Washington for a 61-55 Pac-12 Conference victory on Thursday night.
Isaac White and Daejon Davis also buried key 3-pointers for the Cardinal (13-2, 2-0), who scored 14 of the game's final 15 points after trailing 54-47 with 4:28 to play.
Terry's go-ahead 3-pointer came 64 seconds after Davis had forged a 55-all tie with his three.
Washington (11-5, 1-2) went seven consecutive possessions without point after Nahziah Carter missed the second of two free throws with 3:12 to play, leaving the Huskies with a 55-52 advantage.
Bryce Wills had two steals in that sequence, Washington's 20th and 21st turnovers of the contest.
Oscar da Silva hit one free throw, and Davis dropped in a pair to complete Stanford's scoring.
The Huskies limited the Cardinal to 15 points in the first 19 minutes of the game en route to a 12-point lead in the final minute of the half.
Washington led 28-20 at halftime, then extended the margin to as many as 12 at 47-35 on a 3-pointer by Carter with 11:55 remaining, but Stanford rallied with a 7-0 run.
Spencer Jones had a team-high 14 points, Davis had 12 and da Silva and Terry 11 each for Stanford, which beat California in its conference opener last week.

Terry added team-highs in rebounds with nine and assists with six, while Davis had five helpers.
Jaden McDaniels recorded game-highs with 18 points and 15 rebounds for Washington, which swept the season series from the Cardinal last season, winning by one point at Stanford in March.
