Sealing the 13-point come-from-behind victory for them was Kurt Velasquez&#x27;s steal off the inbound of the Bullpups.</p><p>Standing out for the UAAP Season 86 juniors hoops finalists, on the other hand,  were Collins Akowe who had 16 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks, and one steal, and Kurl Figueroa who finished with 10 points and three rebounds.</p><p>In another close encounter, University of the East escaped Jose Rizal University, 75-74.</p><div><span><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1723384306093IMG_4685.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The UE Junior Warriors in the Next Generation Basketball League (NGBL).
