Warriors get a spark from red-hot Marreese Speights

OAKLAND -- Ask somebody with the Warriors about Marreese Speights and it's hard for them to not crack a smile.

"Mo is energy," forward Harrison Barnes explained after a wide smile hit his face just because he mentioned the veteran big man.Speights' energy has been particularly crucial recently, with the 6-foot-10 reserve notching three double-figure scoring efforts in the past four games. That includes his 25-point, nine-rebound outburst Saturday against Phoenix and a 14-point, seven-rebound, three-assist outing Monday against New Orleans. Both were victories for the Warriors, who will aim for their 50th straight home win Wednesday night when they face the New York Knicks (28-40).
