The Bledshow is must-see
There’s a reason for Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe to be all smiles as he continues to find his groove since returning from his leg injury a week ago.
And it was his play in the Bucks’ win over the Spurs Saturday night that reinforced how the 30-year-old hasn’t showed any signs of rust as he finished with an incredibly efficient 21-point performance that provided a spark in the team’s performance for the night.
In particular, it was Bledsoe’s marksmanship from beyond the arc, where he canned four of his six 3-point attempts, that was the most impressive aspect of his performance and it was the third-most efficient outing he’s had this year from that range. And he supplemented that with six assists, four of those resulting in Bucks triples for his teammates.
Combine all of that with the defensive flashes that have been typical of Bledsoe’s career and it’s very easy to be encouraged by what we’ve seen of the 10-year veteran over the Bucks’ last three wins.
With his minutes restriction lifting little by little with each passing game since returning from his injury, Bledsoe has shown that he’s done more than get back up to speed and will look to continue that run Monday night against the Spurs.
