Quinn Cook scored all 17 of his points in the second half, and Duke beat Georgia Tech 72-66 on Wednesday night to give (Mike) Krzyzewski his Atlantic Coast Conference-record 423rd league victory.

In the second half, Duke never trailed but also never led by more than seven points before finding a way to give their Hall of Fame coach a second milestone in 11 days.

Krzyzewski, who earned his 1,000th career victory Jan. 25 at St. John’s, surpassed former North Carolina coach Dean Smith as the winningest in ACC play. He improved to 423-169 in his 35th year in the league.
