All good things must come to an end and so Duke’s remarkable winning streak came to an end at Clemson when the Tigers won, 53-51.
The streak, which began on December 4, grew to 17th place before the Tigers broke it, not that it was easy.

Duke had a 39-30 lead heading into the fourth quarter, but Clemson erupted in the fourth quarter, outscoring Duke 23-12.
Even then, it wasn’t decided until Hanna Kohn hit an open 3-pointer from the top of the key with 3.1 left on the clock.
Those were his only points of the game.
Toby Fournier played well again with 18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists and a steal.
Riley Nelson was the only other Blue Devil in double figures with 10.
With the winning streak snapped, Duke is now 20-7 and 15-1 in the ACC. With two games left in the regular season (FSU at home and UNC at Chapel Hill), the Blue Devils are still in first place, and only Louisville (14-2) can catch them. If Duke beats Florida State (9-19/4-12), they will win the regular season since the Blue Devils beat Louisville.
