It’s a three-pronged attack for Duke, with Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler joining Irving in double figures. Smith added 15 points while Singler pitched-in 10 for the Blue Devils thus far.
Outside of Lucious, Kalin Lucas has finally come alive, scoring 10 second half points after having a quiet first 20 minutes. Outside of Lucious and Lucas, Michigan State has struggled to find a third scoring threat, with no other players in double figures.
After turning the ball over 12 times in the first half, the Spartans continue to struggle with possession, turning it over eight more times in the first 15 minutes of the second. The Spartans are still in it, but Duke has kept them at bay, feeding off the electric environment at Cameron Indoor.
