Miami Hurricanes at Duke Blue Devils

Jones keys No. 18 Duke's 70-58 win over Miami

Matt Jones scored all 13 of his points in the second half, hitting three 3-pointers during the run of 20 consecutive points that propelled Duke past Miami 70-58 on Saturday night.

"We practice with a bunch of different lineups, a bunch of different guys," forward Amile Jefferson said. "We have eight guys that can start at any point, I think, and we have eight guys that are starters, that see themselves that way. That should be the beauty of our team."

Jayson Tatum had 14 points and Luke Kennard 11 for the Blue Devils (15-4, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who snapped a two-game skid with a dominant second half.

"I think the guys must have thought we won the game at halftime," Miami coach Jim Larranaga said.

Davon Reed had 19 points and Bruce Brown added 15 to lead the Hurricanes (12-6, 2-4), who have lost two straight and four of five.

"That group that started the second half gave us life," Capel said.

They provided the jolt of energy needed to completely flip the game: Miami had 12 turnovers in the first 12 minutes of the half and was just 8 of 23 from the field after the break. In a key stretch, Jones swiped the ball from Ja'Quan Newton in the frontcourt and rattled in the Blue Devils' first 3-pointer of the game.

"We can play defense," Jones said. "We just have to want to play defense."

BIG PICTURE

INJURY REPORT

It was a painful night for Allen. First, the Duke guard briefly left the game with a bloody face after Anthony Lawrence collided with him during a first-half rebound attempt. Then, Allen dislocated the pinkie on his left hand when he fouled Dewan Huell with 0.3 seconds left in the half. Allen said it looked "like a lightning bolt, kind of, or maybe like a Z" but trainers "relocated" it and taped it to his ring finger, and he played the second half.
