Coming back from a right calf injury, Speights scored 8 points on 4/8 shooting and grabbed 3 rebounds in only 9 minutes on the floor.

During the Warriors early deficit early in the second, Speights checked in for Festus Ezeli and helped spark Golden State's 13-5 run to tie things up with 6 quick points — including two jumpers. He also assisted on a Draymond Green layup.

He re-entered the game early in the fourth and missed a few shots but did have a nice score from 19 feet out to give the Warriors an 80-77 lead with 8:33 to play. He checked out of the game with 7:41 left.

David Lee and Mike Miller did not play.
