Naithan George scored a team-high 20 points to help lead visiting Georgia Tech to a 93-90 double-overtime win over Clemson on Tuesday in Clemson, SC.

Kyle Sturdivant added 18 points for the Yellow Jackets (9-8, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who snapped a five game skid. Kowacie Reeves Jr. tallied 15 points, while Miles Kelly scored 14 points. Baye Ndongo totaled 11 points and 10 rebounds for Georgia Tech.

PJ Hall led Clemson (12-5, 2-4) with 31 points and 17 rebounds. Ian Schieffelin added 20 points and 15 rebounds and Chase Hunter poured in 18 points for the Tigers, who have lost four of their last five games. Joe Girard III added 11 points in the loss.

Georgia Tech trailed 62-57 when Kelly's layup trimmed the Yellow Jacket deficit to three points with 4:16 left in regulation. Clemson then scored the next six points to extend the Tigers' lead to nine.

The Yellow Jackets followed with six straight points, cutting the lead to three. Hunter had a chance to give Clemson a four-point lead with 11 seconds left, but missed the second of two free throws, and George sent the game to overtime on a 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds left.

In overtime, Georgia Tech led 82-79 before Schieffelin hit a layup to cut the deficit to one with 52 seconds left. After a defensive stop, Hall went to the foul line in hopes of giving Clemson the lead with 23 seconds left, but split the free throws and the game was sent to a second overtime.

In the final frame, Kelly and George combined for nine of Georgia Tech's 11 points, while Clemson connected on just one field goal.

Georgia Tech finished 15 for 35 (42.9 percent) on 3-pointers while Clemson shot 3 for 21 (14.3 percent) from beyond the arc.

Clemson attempted 38 free throws, making 29 of them (76.3 percent), while Georgia Tech shot 16 for 20 (80 percent).

The longtime ACC rivals will meet again on Feb. 21 in Atlanta.
