Scharer impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 25 points and 14 rebounds. Bad luck as Dunkin' Raptors lost that game 72-95 to Devil Rays (2-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round.
