Duke basketball got a free national television recruiting pitch.

There is no debate that the Duke basketball coaching staff has the best recruiters in college basketball, but even the best sometimes need a little help.

On Tuesday night, the Brooklyn Nets (14-9) battled the Los Angeles Clippers (16-6) on national television in one of the most anticipated games in the NBA regular season.

Clippers star Paul George said prior to the game that not only was the entire country watching, but the world.

In a game that fully lived up to the hype, the Nets defeated the Clippers, 124-120.
