Members of the Portland Trail Blazers were introduced to a whole new type of bonding experience after Tuesday's practice.

Various players, including Damian Lillard, Enes Kanter, and Meyers Leonard, were all stuck in a cramped elevator.

With no service on their cell phones, players killed time listening to music and joked about preserving their chocolate bars as they went into "survival mode."

"This is not how you treat a former No. 1 team in the West," said guard Evan Turner.

Turner made light of the situation and couldn't help teasing his fellow teammates.

They were eventually rescued after around 30 minutes, as each player climbed one-by-one from the elevator with their equipment bags in hand.

Portland has won four games in a row and sits fourth in the Western Conference with a 37-23 record.
