(AP) - Taylor King scored 15 points to lead ninth-ranked Duke past Temple 74-to-64 last night.
The win helped Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski earn his 787th victory. He moves into sixth place on the career wins list and is the third winningest active coach.
DeMarcus Nelson and Greg Paulus each scored 13 points and helped the Blue Devils beat Temple for the eighth straight time. Duke is now 12-and-1.
The Blue Devils appeared on their way to another easy non-conference victory until a surprising 8-minute scoreless drought in the second half that sliced a 19-point lead to eight.
Kyle Singler snapped the skid with two free throws and Gerald Henderson followed with a dunk to break Duke. Dionte Christmas sparked Temple's rally led the Owls with 23 points.
