Though, it wasn’t all perfect for Duke as they had to play without Paolo Banchero for some amount of time because he was having cramping issues.

Paolo Banchero had this to say about his cramping issues!

Why?

His quads locked up and he had to come out of the game, get an IV but would return with nearly eight minutes to play. He scored just one point in the second half.
