The Chronicle's Sameer Pandhare and Sam Turken break down No. 9 Duke's first loss in ACC play, a five-point defeat at Clemson Wednesday night. The Blue Devils found themselves in heavy foul trouble with both Brandon Ingram and Marshall Plumlee saddled with four fouls and Chase Jeter unavailable after fouling out in four minutes. As a result, Duke had to switch to a zone defense, and the Tigers made the Blue Devils pay, erasing a 12-point first-half deficit to improve to 4-1 in the ACC.
