STOP the TNT juggernaut.
That's the overlapping motivation of the Triple Giga's 10 rivals as the PBA 3x3 Season 3 Third Conference unfolds with Leg 1 Monday at Glorietta.
The Triple Giga ruled the previous conference with an iron grip, winning five of the six legs then overcoming the tough challenge of Meralco to annex the conference championship.
Coach Mau Belen's rampaging troops have won the last six conference titles spiked by a rare grand slam in Season 2. With two on their belt in the ongoing wars, the Triple Giga are in the hunt for a second treble in the season-ender.
Fireworks are expected right away in the two-day kickoff leg with the Bolts and other squads out for TNT's hide.
