Jumamoy missed on a second straight triple-double, finishing with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists to lead the Bullpups, who are now 5-0 and have won 32 straight games.

Rhyie Melencio had 26 points, including a lay-up in the final 1:18 that cut the Junior Archers’ deficit to 71-74. He also had 12 boards and three blocks.
