The No. 1 Duke Blue Devils finished the regular season strong with a statement win over eternal rivals, the No. 17 North Carolina Tar Heels, and Cayden and Cameron Boozer’s family was right there to witness it. The game was a rematch of their earlier meeting this season, where UNC came out on top, but Duke finally avenged that rare loss with a win at home in Durham.
The Boozer Twins’ mom, CeCe Boozer, ex-wife of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, was there to cheer Cayden and Cameron on at the Cameron Indoor Stadium. Because this was a special occasion, she showed up with a special outfit that featured both of her sons, even doing a twirl to showoff her special outfit.
This is likely Cameron Boozer’s final home game over at Durham, as he is projected to be one of the possible No. 1 picks in the NBA draft should he choose to enter.
As for the game, it was not even close, as Duke proved that it was the best team in North Carolina with a statement win, 76-61. Cameron Boozer led in points, rebounds and assists with a massive double-double performance of 26 points, 15 rebounds and five assists. His twin brother, Cayden, a pure point guard, had seven points, five rebounds and three assists and was pretty significant during the game.
Forward Maliq Brown chipped in 15 points and nine rebounds, along with two assists, five steals and one block, while guard Isiah Evans added 11 points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. For North Carolina, guard Derek Dixon led the Tar Heels with 17 points, one rebound, three assists and one steal.
