All good things must end and so Duke’s remarkable win-streak came to a close at Clemson as the Tigers won, 53-51.
The streak, which started on December 4th, grew to 17th before the Tigers broke it – not that it was easy.

Duke had a 39-30 lead going into the fourth quarter, but Clemson erupted in the last period, outscoring Duke 23-12.
Even then, it wasn’t decided until Hanna Kohn hit an open three-pointer from the top of the key with 3.1 left on the clock.
Those were her 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 win streak broken, Duke is now 20-7 and 15-1 in the ACC. With two games left in the regular season – FSU at home and UNC in Chapel Hill – the Blue Devils are still in first place, with only Louisville (14-2) able to catch them. If Duke beats Florida State (9-19/4-12), they’ll win the regular season since the Blue Devils beat Louisville.
