RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Matthew Hurt scored 24 points and Duke took over with a 22-3 first-half run to beat North Carolina State 69-53 on Saturday.

Freshman Mark Williams added season highs of 13 points and five blocks for the Blue Devils (8-8, 6-6 Atlantic Coast Conference), who had lost three straight and six of eight. Yet Duke led the entire way after the opening minute in a venue where the Blue Devils had lost four of five, including a burst of 14 unanswered during its big run that decided this one.

Freshman Shakeel Moore had 13 points to lead the Wolfpack (8-9, 4-8). N.C. State has lost eight of 10 games, along with having two postponed, since the start of 2021.

Seven different players scored during their big run, which ended with DJ Steward's 3-pointer followed by a floater in the lane by Jeremy Roach to make it 33-13 with 6:11 left before halftime. Duke led by 18 at the break and finished the game shooting 51%, including 9 of 18 from 3-point range.

That included a 6-for-7 showing from Hurt, who had missed 17 of 22 3-pointers through the previous five games. The 6-foot-9 sophomore, who entered as the ACC's No. 2 scorer at 17.7 points, made his first six shots overall and 8 of 10 for the game.

N.C. State shot 45% but made 2 of 10 3-pointers and committed 18 turnovers.

Duke visits another instate league opponent Wednesday at Wake Forest. N.C. State visits Pittsburgh that same day.
