UAAP Media</div>MANILA -- National University-Nazareth School shook off a slow start and eventually overwhelmed UP Integrated School, 102-78, to extend their winning streak in the UAAP Season 87 Junior High School Basketball Tournament on Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena.The Bullpups have now won three straight games, giving them a 5-4 win-loss card that is good for solo fourth place. &quot;Hindi naman tinitignan yung win streak. Sinasabi ko lang sa kanila na we&#x27;ll go one game at a time… Nung half time, inaddress ko sa kanila na we have to stick to the game plan. Kung ano yung at napagusapan at trinabaho natin noong past few days, kailangan i-apply this game,&quot; said head coach Kevin de Castro.UPIS refused to fade away early, engaging the Bullpups in a back-and-forth affair and trimming a double-digit deficit to only eight points at the half, 50-42, behind the tandem of Bruce Tubongbanua and Jhustin Hallare.It wasn&#x27;t until the closing minutes of the third that NU-Nazareth finally took control, unleashing a 17-2 run that gave them a commanding 78-56 lead heading into the final frame.The Junior Fighting Maroons ran out of steam in the payoff period, and the Bullpups completed a sweep of UPIS in the elimination round after having won their first round encounter, 94-76.David Sabareza powered NUNS with 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting to go along with seven steals, five rebounds, and four assists, while Chester Tulabut contributed 21 points, five rebounds, two assists, and two steals.Yujin Pena scored 17 points to go along with seven rebounds, one assist, and one steal, while Mac Tadeo had a perfect game with 13 points on 6-of-6 shooting with four rebounds, two blocks, and an assist.&quot;Yung team namin, talagang walang star player. You have to be a superstar in your own role, &#x27;yon naman prinepreach namin from high school to college para pagdating nila sa senior ranks, talagang sanay na sila sa sistema na gusto namin i-apply,&quot; De Castro said.Tubongbanua&#x27;s game-high 31-point effort, coupled with Hallare&#x27;s 29-point showing went for naught as UPIS remained winless through ten outings in the eight-team junior high school league.The star duo lacked help from their teammates as the rest of the Fighting Maroons only contributed 18 points combined.NUNS will shoot for its fourth straight win against a formidable opponent in an undefeated University of the East side next Sunday, Nov. 3., at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.The Fighting Maroons will have a 18-day break before it returns to competition against La Salle Zobel on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at the same UST venue.<div>The Scores:</div>NUNS 102 - Sabareza 21, Tulabut 21, Y. Peña 17, Tadeo 13, N. Peña 12, Khobuntin 6, Urea 4, Toring 4, Quinto 3, Vitug 1, Reroma 0, Maranan 0, Gutierrez 0.UPIS 78 - Tubongbanua 31, Hallare 29, Addatu 10, Poquiz 6, Cobico 2, Gepitan 0, Rosete 0, Repane 0, Manguerra 0, Labao 0, Lugatiman 0, Baldovino 0.Quarterscores: 25-23, 50-42, 78-56, 102-78.<div></div>
