2/27 Game Preview: Trail Blazers at Celtics

An elevator might be the only thing that could keep the Portland Trail Blazers from quickly rising to an elite level.

They're close, but like Wednesday's opponent, the Boston Celtics, Portland has flaws it wants to iron out in the final weeks of the season.

The next step in the Blazers' journey takes place in Boston, where on Tuesday some players were stuck in an elevator for more than 30 minutes at a practice facility at Emerson College.

That might be the only way to slow down Damian Lillard, who had an "off" night with only 21 points in Monday's 123-110 win in Cleveland.
