Duke Basketball: Blue Devil magic magnifies magnificence

Casual observers call it luck. Obsessive critics fabricate evidence to support calling it unfair. But the correct descriptor for the ride the Duke basketball team is on at the moment is clear as day to true believers:

Magic.

It’s a genre of tricks that not even the magicians themselves could explain — even if they were willing to reveal their secrets.
