Almond Vosotros out to repay 'second chance' at TNT

(Photo: PBA Media) Almond Vosotros is not taking any opportunity for granted and sees every minute on the floor with TNT as a chance to prove he still belongs on the big league. The 35-year-old guard parted ways with the Tropang 5G in April, but was brought back in late May to reinforce a depleted TNT backcourt reeling from injuries to key playmakers Jayson Castro, Rey Nambatac, and Jielo Razon. Recently, another veteran court general Simon Enciso went down with an eye injury and had already missed a couple of games in their ongoing PBA Philippine Cup finals duel against San Miguel. And when Vosotros got the green light, and he delivered. With San Miguel looking to slam the door on TNT's Grand Slam dreams in Game 5, Vosotros, a former 3x3 specialist, answered the call and provided the spark. He fired a triple and then completed a layup to cap off a 13-2 TNT run to open the fourth, foiling a comeback attempt from the Beermen. He then dished out an assist that led to a Jordan Heading three-pointer as TNT established a 77-59 cushion halfway through the frame. He finished with 11 points to go with one rebound, two assists, and a steal to help TNT revive its flickering grand slam hopes alive. "Unang-una ayokong masayang 'yung opportunity na binibigay sa akin ni Coach Chot [Reyes] at ng TNT. As in, bibihira 'yung mabigyan ng second chance so hangga't may opportunity na makakatulong ako sa team, gagawin ko," Vosotros said. "Lagi naman kaming sinasabihan ni Coach Chot na hangga't may pag-asa talagang lalaban lang kami palagi. Kung may opportunity na makabalik kami ngayong series, 'yun lang 'yung focus namin." Vosotros shared he signed only a two-month contract with TNT, or only until the end of this month, that's why the former 13th overall pick is making the most of his time with TNT. "Sa totoo lang, sa lahat ng experience ko sa 5-on-5 ngayon lang ako nabigyan ng opportunity, ngayon lang ako nabigyan ng minutes since nagpa-draft ako," he added. "So sobrang thankful ako kay Coach Chot na ayun nga, binigyan ako ng second chance tapos ngayon I'm playing in the finals. Ayoko lang masayang 'yung opportunity." —JKC, GMA Integrated News

(Photo: PBA Media) Almond Vosotros starred in his return as TNT dominated NorthPort, 94-70, in the PBA Philippine Cup on Friday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Vosotros, who parted ways with TNT last April, was picked up anew to replace guards like the injured Jayson Castro and Jielo Razon.

TNT pulled away in the second period as it outscored NorthPort, 32-14, to take a 52-32 lead by the end of the first half. The Tropang 5G cruised from then and led by as much as 31, 86-55, with 6:05 remaining in the fourth before claiming the victory. Calvin Oftana had 15 points and 10 rebounds, while RR Pogoy had 13 points as TNT got its fifth straight victory and improved to 5-3. Joshua Munzon was the only double-digit scorer for NorthPort with 20 points as the Batang Pier (1-7) absorbed its seventh straight loss on the day Arvin Tolentino's signing was announced by the Seoul SK Knights.
