ANTIPOLO CITY - There's no stopping the TnT juggernaut in the PBA 3x3 Third Conference.
The league-leading Tropang Giga added the Leg 4 crown to their growing collection, putting the finishing touches to another successful run with a 21-15 disposal of first-time finalist Terrafirma 3x3 Sunday at the Ynares Center.
As always, Almond Vosotros came out firing and dropped nine points, six rebounds and two assists to help the Tropang Giga clinch back-to-back leg wins and three overall victories in the season-ending conference.
Samboy de Leon, a fixture in TnT's Leg 1 conquest but a reserve when they ruled Leg 3, marked his return with a solid finals outing of five points, including the winning deuce.
Lervin Flores also scored five as Ping Exciminiano added two while defending against Terrafirma's gunner Shaq Alanes.
"Sobrang hard-working talaga itong team na ito, especially sa practice, at heto, nagbunga," said Vosotros.

Alanes, who had 13 in the Dyip's 21-17 semifinal win over Limitless, netted six in the losing effort against TnT.
Alanes and teammates Jeremiah Taladua, Red Cachuela and Jebb Bulawan gave Terrafirma its best finish so far of second place and banked P50,000.
On the way to its familiar spot in the finals, TnT outdueled Meralco in the quarterfinals, 21-14, then nipped San Miguel Beer in the semis, 16-10.
The Dyip, for their part, edged erstwhile unbeaten Cavitex in the Last-8, 22-20, before nailing a breakthrough finals appearance at the expense of the Appmasters.
The Beermen joined TnT and Terrafirma in the podium and went home with P30,000 after a 21-17 disposal of Limitless in the battle for third.
