DURHAM, N.C. - Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler scored 22 points apiece and No. 2 Duke held off a late Stephen Curry-led charge to beat Davidson 79-67 on Wednesday night.
Gerald Henderson added 11 points on 3-of-11 shooting for the Blue Devils (13-1). They never trailed, outscored the Wildcats 20-7 to start the second half and withstood their late comeback attempt to win their 67th straight nonconference home game.
Curry, the nation's leading scorer, scored 29 points - the most Duke has allowed any player this season - on 10-of-22 shooting for Davidson (10-3), with 21 of those coming in the second half as he tried to rally his team from a 25-point deficit.
He scored eight straight points during a 14-2 spurt midway through the half to help the Wildcats close to 13.
Davidson then pulled to 69-61 on Andrew Lovedale's basket in the post with 3:53 left, but couldn't get any closer. Scheyer scored six points in the final 2 minutes - including the 1,000th of his career - to help Duke pull away late.
