WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Freshman James Johnson scored a season-high 22 points to lead Wake Forest to a 78-67 win over Air Force on Sunday.
L.D. Williams had 16 points, and Harvey Hale added 15 and keyed the critical stretch for Wake Forest by scoring five points during a 10-0 second-half run that broke the game open.
The Demon Deacons (9-3) won their fourth straight game pushed their ACC-best home-court winning streak to 12 and avenged a 36-point loss at Air Force last year — the most lopsided nonconference loss in the school’s modern era.
Tim Anderson had a career-high 30 points — the most Wake Forest has allowed a player this season — for the Falcons (8-5). The Falcons shot 50 percent and made 56 percent of their 3-pointers but couldn’t overcome 19 turnovers.
