DURHAM, N.C. (AP) – Angel Rodriguez scored 24 points and Miami shot 67 percent after halftime to upset No. 4 Duke 90-74 on Tuesday night, snapping the Blue Devils’ 41-game home winning streak.

Manu Lecomte had a career-high 23 points for the Hurricanes (12-4, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who dominated the final 20 minutes with their pesky defense and attacking dribble penetration that the Blue Devils just couldn’t defend.

Trailing 35-34 at the break, Miami shot 18-for-27 after halftime and hit 6 of 9 3-pointers – a stunningly one-sided show starring a team that lost by 28 points at home to Eastern Kentucky on Dec. 19.

Duke (14-2, 2-2) hadn’t lost at Cameron Indoor Stadium since March 2012 and hadn’t lost consecutive regular-season games since February 2009.

But much like Sunday’s loss at against North Carolina State, the Blue Devils were unable to slow a hot-shooting team nor keep up at their own offensive end.
