The Brooklyn, N.Y., native scored a season-high 19 points in the Phoenix's 86-72 win over IUPUI while also hitting 7-of-9 from the free throw line. He later had season-highs in rebounds (seven) and assists (five) while scoring 14 points versus host Winthrop on Sunday.
 
Dorn also scored a season-high 19 points versus IUPUI as the rookie was 4-of-9 from downtown in the contest. The Charlotte, N.C., native averaged 11.7 points per game last weekend and shot 38 percent from three (8-of-21) while pulling down 3.5 rebounds per game.
