How to put two motors on one spike

So my understanding is you can put two motors on one spike (Please tell me if I'm wrong), but I'm not sure how. I think just putting two wires in one crimp connection is the answer, but after reading about it online I saw a diagram to connect the power negative and the motor negative to the same, and just hook up the positives to the motor leads on the spike. Can someone help me figure this out?
