No. 2 Duke Pulls Away From Georgia Tech, 73-64

ATLANTA -- Tre Jones hit two key baskets down the stretch and No. 2 Duke held off Georgia Tech 73-64 on Wednesday night.

The Blue Devils (14-1, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) extended their winning streak to eight in a row, and their firm hold on this series goes back much further. Georgia Tech (7-7, 2-2) has lost 13 straight to Duke since its last victory over the Blue Devils on Jan. 9, 2010 -- almost 10 years ago to the day.

The Yellow Jackets rallied from a double-digit deficit but couldn't make a basket in the closing minutes, missing 14 of their last 15 shots.
