Speights scored 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT) in just nine minutes Thursday night in Golden State’s 120-111 win over Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

For the second time in the series, Mo Buckets showed up for Golden State. Speights looked for his shot and played aggressive defense getting out on the screen-and-rolls. He was on the floor for the beginning of the fourth quarter, a pivotal stretch, when the Warriors surged with an 8-0 run to extend their lead to double-digits. The bench has largely been invisible during the series, so it was good to see Speights, Andre Iguodala (eight points, eight assists) and Shaun Livingston (six points) provide some support for the starting unit. Speights and the Warriors head out to Oklahoma City for Saturday’s Game 6, their second straight elimination game.
