Marcquise Reed scored 21 points and Jaron Blossomgame had 17 points and 10 rebounds as Clemson snapped a three-game losing streak with a 95-83 victory over Wake Forest on Tuesday night.
The Tigers (14-11, 4-9 Atlantic Coast Conference) had lost their past two games to Syracuse and No. 12 Duke by a combined three points. This time, Clemson opened a double-digit lead at halftime and, despite a few scary moments for fans at Littlejohn Coliseum, held on to win their fourth in a row over the Demon Deacons (15-11, 6-8).
The Tigers saw a 21-point lead shrink to 87-81 when John Collins hit two foul shots, Bryant Crawford poked the ball away from Shelton Mitchell and followed with a 3-pointer moments later.
