Championship teams finish with the game on the line, and that is exactly what the No. 1 Duke Blue Devils did Sunday during an 87-84 victory over the No. 7 Florida Gators in the title game of the Motion Bracket at the PK80-Phil Knight Invitational in Portland, Oregon.

Duke trailed by as many as 17 in the second half and faced an 82-72 deficit with less than five minutes remaining but closed the contest on an 8-0 run to seize victory against a quality nonconference opponent.

Marvin Bagley III led the way with 30 points and 15 rebounds and scored the Blue Devils' final two field goals with the game hanging in the balance.
