SILENCED in their Game 3 loss, TNT gunner Calvin Oftana is aching for a quick atonement. Mr. Oftana coughed up a meager two points on an awful one-of-eight clip as the Tropang 5G absorbed a 102-116 setback to Barangay Ginebra on Sunday and fell, 1-2, in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup finals.

Much was expected from Mr. Oftana especially coming off his 31-point explosion two nights before when he went five-of-10 from beyond the arc and shot 11-of-18 overall in powering TNT to a 101-94 Game 2 equalizer.
