No. 11 Pittsburgh 65, No. 6 Duke 64, OT

NEW YORK — Levance Fields hit a 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds left in overtime to give lift Pittsburgh in a matchup of unbeatens. Duke’s Jon Scheyer took a running 3 and was able to grab the rebound and get off a final shot but it was another miss for the Blue Devils (10-1). Fields, who finished with 21 points for the Panthers (11-0), hit all three of Pittsburgh’s 3-pointers in the game. The second one he made was part of a 12-0 run that gave the Panthers a 50-49 lead with 5:27 to play in regulation, their first since 2-0. Duke had the final two shots of regulation, too. Gerald Henderson of Duke tied the game at 58 on a jumper with 56 seconds left in regulation. Pitt’s Michael Cook missed a 3 with 23 seconds left and the Blue Devils worked for a last shot, Henderson’s driving miss in the lane, but Kyle Singler got the rebound and his putback went off the rim. Sam Young had 17 points for Pittsburgh, while freshman DeJuan Blair had 15 points and 20 rebounds and his energy on the boards was a big key for the Panthers in their comeback from a 13-point deficit four minutes into the second half. Singler and Henderson both had 17 points for Duke, while DeMarcus Nelson added 14. Mike Cook, a senior who has made 48 consecutive starts at forward for Pitt, hurt his left leg a minute into the overtime. He remained on the court for several minutes then was helped to the locker room without the leg ever touching the ground. He didn’t return. The loss snapped Duke’s 36-game winning streak in December. The Blue Devils’ last loss in the 12th month was 84-83 to Stanford on Dec. 21, 2000.
