PORTLAND, Ore. -- The celebration in the Trail Blazers' locker room after making the playoffs for the fifth straight season was one of relief more than excitement.
First goal accomplished. Now Portland heads out on the road with more work to do.
"We're just looking to stay sharp, keep doing the things that's allowed us to have the success that we've had and try to finish it off and win the division, get home court," Damian Lillard said.
Lillard had 27 points and nine assists, and the Trail Blazers held off a late run by the Memphis Grizzlies for a 113-98 victory on Sunday night.
