Ken Tuffin and the host Wellington Saints prevailed over fellow Fil-Kiwi Joseph Nunag and the Franklin Bulls, 111-82, in their New Zealand National Basketball League match held Thursday, May 20.
The Saints dominated the match in front of their home fans at the TSB Bank Arena to stay unbeaten after five matches of their NBL campaign.
Tuffin and Nunag were hardly a factor, production-wise, in the first meeting of the two former Far Eastern University who are now plying their trade down under.

Joseph Nunag checked as Franklin sees two-game win streak snapped 4 hours ago
THE Franklin Bulls were cooled off at home as the Nelson Giants took a 107-94 win Saturday in the 2021 NZ NBL season at Franklin Pool and Leisure Centre.
Josh Selby s 36-point eruption went for naught, spoiling his 6-of-11 shooting night from deep, as well as six rebounds and four assists as Franklin saw its two-game winning streak snapped.
Former Far Eastern University guard Joseph Nunag was checked and limited to just nine points on 2-of-3 clip from threes.
Nelson leaned on the stupendous performance of Hunter Hale, who was all over the floor as he had a near-triple-double outing in time of his 26 points, nine boards, nine assists, and five steals.
