Hardly anything fell for Kyle Singler — until Duke’s blowout became a close game.

Singler scored 10 of his 17 points in the second half, and the sixth-ranked Blue Devils bounced back from their first loss by beating visiting St. John’s, 80-71, on Saturday.

St. John’s suffered its first defeat after a 6-0 start and lost the starting forward Justin Burrell to a sprained right ankle, sustained when he landed on a Duke player’s foot after his short jumper gave the Red Storm a 2-0 lead in the opening minute.
