Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe says he needs to be more aggressive on offense in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics.
Bledsoe took just five shots in Game 1, finishing with only six points as the Bucks got blown out 112-90. That's not going to get it done for Milwaukee, who has to win Game 2 to avoid going down 0-2 in the series.

During the regular season, Bledsoe averaged 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 48.4 percent from the field, 32.9 percent from beyond the arc and 75.0 percent from the free-throw line. The 29-year-old can get to the rim whenever he wants and finish in heavy traffic. The Bucks will need Bledsoe to play downhill in Game 2 if they want to even up the series at 1-1.
Making Celtics star point guard Kyrie Irving work on defense is the best way to tire him out. Bledsoe needs to put constant pressure on Irving so Uncle Drew doesn't have loads of energy to go off on offense. Irving put up 26 points in Game 1 and shot 12-of-21 from the floor.
Only three players on the Bucks scored in double-figures in Game 1. Bledsoe needs to arguably have his best game of the season in Game 2 to atone for his poor play in Game 1.
