Mo Speights Issues Epic Takedown Of Kendrick Perkins, Thanks Him For Season-Best Game

Golden State Warriors reserve big man Marreese Speights spent most of the team's 91-86 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder alternating buckets and verbal jabs at Oklahoma City's bench.

After knocking down 11-of-18 shots for a season-high 28 points, Speights revealed that most of his verbal assault was intended for Oklahoma City backup center Kendrick Perkins, who finished just 2-of-4 from the field for four points.

“It’s just that Perk always has something to say,” Speights said, via Rusty Simmons of SFGate.com. “He thinks he’s a tough guy, but at the end of the day, his game is terrible. He always has something to say to me, every time we play against each other."

Speights wasn't done taking Perkins down a peg. In fact, he even decided to show his appreciation for the veteran center's role in his big night.

“It always gets me going, so: ‘Shout out to Perkins’ for helping me get this game,” Speights said.
