You may recall that Dorsey was unable to play for a good portion of the post-corona Israeli league due to having to spend time in quarantine after being in contact with someone in his building who had COVID-19. Once back, the Oregon product still needed to get his game going after frustrating performances in the first two contests. But with Scottie Wilbekin out suspended and unavailable to play in game 3, the guard raised his game to wipe out his 19 points over the first 2 games to notch 26 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists for an efficiency rating of 38 in the decisive matchup. Dorsey willed his team to the win and was a cut above almost everyone else on the court. However, <strong>the former Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies guard<\/strong> didn\u2019t want to look at his showing and credited the team and the tough nosed defense that took the win, \u201cEvery minute, every guy stepped up for us but it\u2019s the defense that got us the win.

Tyler had to stay in quarantine for ten days so it\u2019s normal not to be in great shape. I think he did a great job and showed up when we needed him. But today we won as a team. All of the players had a great game even the ones who played a few seconds. They fought for the win.\u201d Sfairopoulos was totally into the game from the tip-off as he whipped off his jacket that he usually wears throughout the 40 minutes and became one of the warriors for a short Maccabi roster with oodles of injured players. That simple fact was not ignored by the media and the coach spoke about his involvement on the sidelines, \u201cEverybody was ready to fight including myself. We gave a big fight and we deserved the win.

I asked him what he felt was the biggest challenge that he faced coming back to play after the coronavirus break, \u201cThe biggest challenge was to gain our chemistry back, as soon as possible and at the same time to try to keep our players healthy and it was very demanding physically and mentally. All the players stayed for 2 months in quarantine, that was a great challenge to deal with and having a new team for three months without practicing and in 20 days of practice you have to be ready and win games. The league was very competitive.
