The Cleveland Cavaliers are up against the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday, looking to keep their five-game win streak going. It's been a tight one so far for the defending Eastern Conference champs, though, because the Bucks are matching Cleveland’s outside-shooting proficiency — and also because of plays like this from Milwaukee guard Eric Bledsoe.

Reminder to the Cavs: never forget to box out Eric Bledsoe. Whoever was Bledsoe’s man in that play must have also forgotten that the point guard could sky. He even joined the NBA’s Slam Dunk Contest way back in 2013.

Apart from his rim-rocker, Bledsoe, who entered the Cavs game with averages of 17.5 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game, has been torturing Cleveland in this contest in a variety of ways. He leads the Bucks as of this writing with 22 points on the strength of an impressive 8-for-11 shooting from the floor.

Milwaukee traded for Eric Bledsoe last month, sending Greg Monroe and a pair of future draft picks to the Phoenix Suns to get the services of the 28-year-old guard.
