The Nightcap between AF1 and Hyperflight may have some devious implications. Both teams stand at 1-2 and could use the win but AF1 captain Ben Detrick seems to have other matters on his mind. “The game against Hyperflight is simply a ruse for us to kidnap The Real Aron Phillips,” Detrick said. “After seeing him rocking a ski hat, we're sure he's one of Santa's elves -- and holding him for ransom will guarantee a merry Christmas for AF1.” Rocking those green elf shoes, er-I mean “Rondo’s” may have been a bit of a giveaway. Watch your back, AP.

Hyperflight seems to be more focused on the game. "You always want to go into the New Year with some momentum,” said Hyperflight coach Bobby Jones. “More than anything else, we're looking play 40 minutes of solid basketball on both ends of the floor." Doesn’t sound like they’re too focused on keeping AP safe but the 10 p.m. game should still be a goody!
