Duke overcame some adversity to post a very impressive 79-71 win over Kentucky Tuesday night in the Garden.
The adversity? Starters Paolo Banchero and Wendell Moore both had second-half cramps.
The funny thing is right about when that all started is when Duke broke a close game open.
Duke was up just 49-48 with 15:45 to go.
That’s when Trevor Keels went to work, scoring six of the next eight points for Duke while Banchero was out and Moore was struggling, eventually leaving too.
By the time Keels hit his third shot Duke was up 57-50.
