Durham, NC (SportsNetwork.
Cheap San Jose Sharks Jerseys .com) - Jahlil Okafor erupted for 25 points and 20
rebounds as No. 2 Duke stayed unbeaten with a 75-62 win over Elon on Monday.
Okafor, considered by many as the nations top freshman, shot 10-for-14 and
posted career highs in both categories. He recorded the first 20-20 game by a
freshman in Duke history and became the first Blue Devil to accomplish the feat
since Elton Brand in 1998. It felt great, said Okafor, who was celebrating his
birthday. I felt like I was at home with my family. Amile Jefferson scored 13
points and Justise Winslow had 12 for Duke (9-0), which extended the nations
longest home winning streak to 38 games. Luke Eddy paced Elon (5-5) with 16
points. After missing their first three shots, the Blue Devils made seven
straight shots -- including four dunks -- to take a 15-2 lead. Okafor split a
pair of free throws at the end of the first half, giving Duke its biggest lead
at 36-21 heading into the locker rooms. The margin never dipped back into single
digits in the second half, though Elon never felt out of the game. Dukes
starters played until the final whistle, leading to a minor confrontation late
in the contest. Tempers flared with 1 1/2 minutes remaining when Duke guard
Rasheed Sulaimon committed a hard foul on Eddy. He received a technical in
addition to a common foul during the scrum under the basket following the play.
Okafor scored his 25th point on a gorgeous spin move just before that and subbed
out just after to a rousing ovation from the fans at Cameron Indoor Stadium. My
teammates were in my ear telling me to dominate, said Okafor. They wanted me to
put up big numbers. That gave me a lot of confidence. Game Notes Duke started
the season with nine straight wins by 10 or more points for the first time since
2002-03 ... Duke has won 114 straight non-conference home games ... The Blue
Devils shot just 3-for-16 from behind the arc ... Elon has lost back-to-back
games following a three-game win streak.

-- and aging. For the second straight day, the team met with a Los Angeles
Clippers assistant about its head coaching job. Alvin Gentry is the third known
candidate to interview this week with the Cavs, who this month fired Mike Brown
for the second time. Cleveland executives met Tuesday with Chicago assistant
Adrian Griffin, and the Cavs interviewed Clippers assistant Tyronn Lue on
Thursday. Both the 39-year-old Griffin and 37-year-old Lue represent the new
breed of NBA coaches: young, former players who are highly regarded but lack
head-coaching experience. On Saturday, the Cavs are to meet with former Memphis
coach Lionel Hollins. Like Gentry, the 60-year-old Hollins has an extensive head
coaching resume and now the Cavs must decide whether to go with an unproven
candidate or one who has been through the grind. Gentry, 59, could be considered
a favourite because of his background with new Cavs general manager David
Griffin. They worked together in Phoenix and have remained close. Griffin has
said he wants to find a coach who is more offensive-minded than Brown, who
improved Cleveland substantially last season but failed to develop the teams
offence. Gentry is also reportedly a candidate for the Lakers opening. Its
unclear if David Griffin will expand his search to find Clevelands third coach
in three years. The Cavs initially dipped into the college ranks to gauge
interest in high-profile coaches like Kentuckys John Calipari and Floridas Billy
Donovan, and they may circle back if theyre not sold on any of the four
candidates brought in this week.

Clippers, Detroit and Suns. He spent last season -- along with Lue -- on Doc
Rivers staff. Hollins guided Memphis to a 56-26 record in 2012-13, but the club
decided not to renew his contract despite him leading the Grizzlies to the
Western Conference finals for the first time. He won an NBA title as a player
with Portland in 1977 and had been with the Memphis franchise since 1999, when
the team was in Vancouver and he became interim coach after Brian Hill was
fired. Hollins is 214-201 overall and 18-17 in the playoffs. His departure in
Memphis has been followed with upheaval in the front office. David Griffin
understands the Cavs job could be a tough sell, given the team has changed
coaches in each of the past two offseasons. However, Clevelands opening recently
became more appealing when the Cavs won the draft lottery for the second
consecutive year and will have the No. 1 overall pick for the third time in four
years. The Cavs have a young, talented roster and salary-cap space. And owner
Dan Gilbert is determined to move his club back among the leagues elite. He just
needs someone to lead it -- young or old.
