Eriobu, Vosotros in tight PBA 3×3 scoring champ race


Joseph Eriobu of Purefoods and Almond Vosotros of TNT are neck and neck in a tight PBA 3×3 scoring race.

After four legs, Eriobu, who is both a citizen of the Philippines and Hong Kong, leads all players with 178 total points.

The 6-foot-6 stretch big man has made a living inside, scoring 46.63-percent of his points from the inside. His outside shot has been proven lethal as well as he has knocked down a total of 39 deuces across four legs.

Not too far behind is Vosotros with 175 total points.

The 5-foot-10 sniper out of La Salle, who along with fallen teammate Jeremiah Gray were huge parts of TNT’s Leg One triumph, knocked down a second-best 62 deuces.
