Almond Vosotros capped off his incredible scoring performance in the PBA 3x3 Third Conference Leg 3 playoffs with a title after he led the TNT Tropang Giga to a 21-13 win over Purefoods in the finals on Tuesday at the Robinsons Magnolia.

The veteran TNT guard finished with a game-high 12 points as he almost outscored the entire Titans team during the finals by himself en route to giving the Tropang Giga their second leg title.

Vosotros was on fire the entire playoffs and averaged 11.6 points as the Tropang Giga eliminated Sista in the quarterfinals, 21-16, ousted Leg 2 champion Meralco in the semis, 18-14, before proceeding to dominate Purefoods in the championship game to win the P100,000 top purse.

The playmaker out of La Salle also got plenty of help from Gryann Mendoza, who added six points and eight rebounds. Lervin Flores and Ping Exciminiano round out the scoring for the Tropang Giga.

The Titans were in their first finals appearance since winning Leg 4 of the First Conference, but fell short against TNT as top gun Joseph Eriobu was held to just four points on 3-of-11 shooting from the floor.

On the way to the championship round, Purefoods ousted Limitless App in the quarterfinals, 21-19, and slammed the door on Platinum Karaoke, 18-16, in the semis.

The runner-up finish was worth P50,000 for the Titans, who got seven rebounds from new acquisition Marvin Hayes.

Platinum Karaoke earned a podium finish by bagging third place following a 14-12 win over Meralco earlier.

Yutien Andrada finished with seven points for Platinum Karaoke, which bagged P30,000.
