Extended road trips pose a whole host of issues for NBA teams, especially a team like the Trail Blazers that travels more miles per season than any other team in any of the four major American sports leagues. While the team generally does a great job doing everything they can to make the difficulties that accompany getting to and from 41 road games every seasons as easy as possible, some variables cannot be controlled.
Such was the case Tuesday afternoon in Boston. Players piled into an elevator after a light workout at Emerson College, only to have the elevator get stuck with the majority of the team stranded inside.
