CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Coach Steve Kerr knew when he arrived at Golden State that Marreese Speights would figure into the mix somehow this season with the Warriors.He never envisioned how big of an impact Speights would have in the teams 13-2 start.I figured he was a guy who could give us a spark off the bench every now and again, but I didnt see him as our full-time backup centre. ... but Mo has been way better than I expected, Kerr said.Kerr even sat out Speights early in the season, saying because Im an idiot. He said hes not going to make the same mistake again.Speights scored 16 of his 27 points to start the fourth quarter, helping the Warriors beat the Charlotte Hornets 106-101 on Friday night for their eighth straight win.He saved us again, Kerr said. Its like the fourth time hes saved us. Hes just having a terrific season.Stephen Curry finished with 26 points despite a poor shooting night from 3-point range, and Klay Thompson added 17 points for the Warriors (13-2).We were struggling to find a rhythm and he came in and dominated, took over the game, Curry said of Speights. He basically won us the game. Without him tonight our team doesnt even come close.Said Speights: I think it shows we got a deep team.Brian Roberts scored 20 points and Al Jefferson had 18 points for the struggling Hornets (4-13), who have lost eight straight games and 10 of their last 11. Cody Zeller had 15 points and 14 rebounds and Kemba Walker had 13 points and 13 rebounds.Curry, making his return to Charlotte where he played high school basketball and starred at nearby Davidson College, made his first 3-pointer then missed his final nine. He still finished 9 of 20 from the field and made all seven free throw attempts.The Warriors out-rebounded the Hornets 16-8 on the offensive glass.It never matters how well you play if youre going to get tattooed on the glass, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said.The Warriors came in having outscored opponents by an average of nearly 15 points during their winning streak, but entered the fourth quarter trailing 80-74.Then Speights got hot.The six-year NBA veteran scored his teams first 16 points of the fourth quarter on 8-of-9 shooting — most of those coming on mid-range jump shots — and the Warriors took a 90-88 lead with five minutes remaining.When Im in a zone, the basket looks like a swimming pool, Speights said.Thompson knocked down a 3-pointer and Curry scored on two run outs as the Warriors pushed the lead to 97-90. Curry was 6 for 6 from the foul line in the final two minutes to seal the victory.Curry, who had 19 points and nine assists in Golden States 25-point win over Charlotte earlier this season, entered the game with a hot hand. He scored 28 points against Orlando and 40 against Miami earlier this week.But after a quick eight points, Curry cooled off and went to the bench with 3:47 left in the first half after picking up his third foul. The Hornets tried to attack Curry in the second half, but he stayed out of more foul trouble.___TIP-INS:Warriors: Speights has 20 or more points in three games this season off the bench.Hornets: Zeller started in place of Marvin Williams, who is out with a strained shoulder. Williams will sit out Saturday night at Atlanta, too.RUNNING OF THE BULLS: Kerr interrupted his post-game press conference twice in the hallway outside the Warriors locker room to say hello to former Chicago Bulls teammates -- first to Dickey Simpkins and then Hornets owner Michael Jordan. Jordan hugged Kerr and told him keep up the good work, kid. After Jordan walked away, Kerr turned to the media and said, Wheres (Scottie) Pippen?UP NEXT:Warriors: Play at Detroit on Sunday.Hornets: Play at Atlanta on Saturday.

He passed a tough test Saturday. The Cubs right-hander watched from the dugout the previous night as the Brewers pounded out 16 hits against his fellow Chicago pitchers, and he was determined not to let that happen again. Lesson learned: Hammel had a season-high eight strikeouts in seven strong innings, and Anthony Rizzo hit two two-run homers to lift Chicago to an 8-0 win. "Theyre aggressive. ... Theyve really been working the ball the other way," Hammel said. "So, I made sure they knew that I was throwing in. Today, I had a pretty good slider. I kept them off balance." Hammel (6-3) also hit two batters, but otherwise allowed just four hits to an opponent that came into the day with at least 10 in nine straight games. On Saturday, Rizzo provided the offensive highlights. Both of Rizzos homers came on full-count pitches and went deep to right, the second one into the second deck to give the Cubs a four-run lead in the sixth. The Cubs chased Brewers starter Wily Peralta (4-5) in the five-run sixth that started with a single from Hammel, who later scored on Rizzos homer. "He had a couple bad pitches to Rizzo, and Rizzo gives him trouble," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "He makes mistakes to him and Rizzo does not miss them." The homers delighted a healthy showing of Cubs fans that made the short trip north from Chicago. They cheered and whistled their last-place team on a warm, bright afternoon that made for ideal conditions for baseball. Many of those out-of-towners wore No. 44 shirts for Rizzo, the left-handed first baseman who returned to the lineup Saturday after getting his first day off of the season. The rested Rizzo rewarded his backers with his fifth career multi-homer game, and first since Aug. 21, 2013 against Washington. "It was nice just to be able to watch the game yesterday ... slow life down a little bit while Im on the bench," Rizzo said. "Todays obviously a good day for myself and our club." His first homer in the fourth Saturday came two batters after a safe call on runner Emilio Bonifacio at second was confirmed following a Brewers replay challenge.dddddddddddd Milwaukee was hoping Bonifacio would turn into the front end of a double play. Peralta had one his worst outings of the season after being charged for six runs and five hits. His ERA rose from 2.12 to 2.73 following an outing of 5 2-3 innings. Peralta was also on the losing end in the Cubs 4-0 win over Milwaukee on April 27 at Miller Park, when Hammel held the Brewers scoreless over seven innings and struck out seven. Hammel was just as tough Saturday in helping to snap Chicagos three-game losing streak. "He commands his emotions and is meticulous in his preparations and thats how hes able to attack hitters the way he wants to," manager Rick Renteria said. Hammels fastball was clocked in the low 90s, and he mixed in the challenging slider. The shadows creeping across the infield didnt help Brewers hitters either. "I think in the fourth or fifth inning it was sun to the shade. Thats the time you want to pick up the off-speed. It was a little tougher then," said Scooter Gennett, who had two hits. NOTES: The replay review took about 1 minute, 45 seconds. ... Renteria said RHP Hector Rondons wife gave birth to a boy Friday, when Rondon was placed on the three-day paternity list. Renteria left open the possibility that his closer could return for the series finale Sunday afternoon against Milwaukee. ... After stealing second, the Brewers Carlos Gomez was awarded third on an interference call by second base umpire Paul Emmel on Cubs 2B Darwin Barney, who was in the way while Gomez tried to advance on an errant throw. ... Brewers 3B Aramis Ramirez (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a two-day rehab stint Sunday at the teams Class-A affiliate in Appleton and could be activated off the 15-day disabled list either Tuesday or Wednesday. ...... Cubs RH Jeff Samardzija (1-4) faces the Brewers Kyle Lohse (6-1) on Sunday.
