WHETHER he's top of the order or last in TNT's guard rotation, Almond Vosotros always comes in locked and loaded.
After riding the bench for the entirety of Games 1 and 2, Vosotros got his call from coach Chot Reyes and he responded by dropping 14 points on a 4-of-5 three-point clip in 12 minutes and 59 seconds of action.
"Ready to play lang everytime. Alam ko tatawagin ako ni coach any time kapag kailangan," he shot.
The former PBA 3x3 scoring champion served as Reyes' "Magic bunot" and impact player in Game 3 of the PBA Philippine. up finals, where TNT played catch-up most of the way.
Vosotros' 11-point outburst in the fourth quarter reenergized the Tropang 5G and spurred them into action, chopping SMB's 16-point lead to a manageable level, 83-90.

TNT's fightback fell short in the end though as the Beermen unleashed a counter-barrage to widen the gap anew en route to a 108-88 romp.
"That's why he's there. He's backup in case we need offense off bench," Reyes said of Vosotros, whom he convinced to return to the PBA in the season-ending conference to help TNT manage without injured guards Jayson Castro and Rey Nambatac.
"Alam ko role ko sa team like nung sinabi ni coach nung first game ko, kaya niya ako pinabalik dito, may konting kapal pa ng mukha. He knows (my capabilities) and kailangan ko lang maging ready," said sweet-shooting Vosotros. (OL)
