After a time out, Bledsoe took the inbound and dribbled to the side against Bledsoe before rising up for the winner with no time left.

I’ll take that shot every day of the week,” McCollum said of Bledsoe’s game-winning opportunity.

Bledsoe had made three of 15 shots in the game before making four of his final five shots to finish with 20 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

“I had to be extra aggressive,” Bledsoe said. “This team is going to go as far as I take them and I’ve got to do that. I have to lead by example and I did that tonight.”

Nah
Bledsoe just got very lucky there. Stepback for your preferred hand is a VERY TOUGH shot to hit.
Just messes with all your rhythm and balance.

I don't think so. It was a well-defended shot.

He played fine defense, it wasn't a great shot and he wasn't shooting very well for most of the game. I would prefer Bledsoe (not a prolific 3pt threat) take that shot over a drive any day of the week too.
