TNT foils Cavitex’ hat trick aspirationMANILA, Philippines — TNT spoiled the party of hat trick-seeking Cavitex in the PBA 3x3 Season 3 First Conference, wresting the Leg 6 title via a 21-17 clincher yesterday at the Ayala Malls Trinoma. Samboy de Leon drained a clutch two-ball while Almond Vosotros drove the dagger layup and two free throws as the Triple Giga reasserted themselves in the final leg of the season-opener. Gryann Mendoza fired seven points to go with eight rebounds and two assists while Vosotros and De Leon scored six apiece and Ping Exciminiano chipped in two in the championship thriller. With this victory worth P100,000, TNT prevented Leg 4 and 5 winner Cavitex from becoming the first team to win three consecutive legs in the three-year-old league. Bong Galanza shot seven, Dominick Fajardo had five, Jorey Napoles netted four and Tonino Gonzaga scored one as the Braves settled for runner-up honors and P50,000 this time.
