No. 5 Duke 90, No. 10 Notre Dame 60: Jahlil Okafor had 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting and 10 rebounds as host Duke used a dominant first-half run to avenge a loss to the Fighting Irish less than two weeks ago.

Justise Winslow finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds and two blocked shots for the Blue Devils (20-3, 7-3 ACC), who have won three straight since a 77-73 setback at Notre Dame on Jan. 28. Matt Jones scored a career-high 17 points off the bench and Tyus Jones added 12 and a game-high seven assists as Duke improved to 7-0 at home against the Fighting Irish.

Steve Vasturia led Notre Dame (21-4, 9-3) with 15 points while Demetrius Jackson had 11. The top two scorers on the season for the Fighting Irish - Jerian Grant and Zach Auguste - combined for seven points on 3-of-12 shooting as Notre Dame dropped its second straight road game.

Vasturia and Pat Connaughton hit back-to-back 3-pointers to start the game for the Irish but it was all Blue Devils from there, as Winslow's layup ignited a 43-7 stretch that lasted nearly 14 minutes. Matt Jones had three 3-pointers and 11 points overall in the span, and finished the half with 15 points as Duke shot 17-of-21 from the floor to take a 50-24 lead into the break.

Bonzie Colson had a pair of baskets in a 6-0 burst as Notre Dame got within 60-42 with under 14 minutes left before Winslow and Okafor highlighted a 12-0 run that pushed the lead to 30 points for the first time in the second half. Duke led by as many as 35 down the stretch and finished with a 60.8 percent mark from the floor.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Duke was 7-of-8 from 3-point range in the first half and finished 9-of-15. ... Okafor's double-double was his eighth and Winslow recorded his third. ... Grant, who entered shooting 77.3 percent from the line, made 1-of-7 free throws and Auguste missed both of his tries as Notre Dame went 6-of-17.
