The temperature is a measure of the amount of energy something has. The hotter it is the more energy it has. If a bacteria is hotter, it will have more energy and can therefore do everything faster, it will move more and metabolize quicker and all of its processes will be able to happen easier as the bacteria doesn't have to input as much energy into a process.

When a bacteria reproduces, it needs to copy its coding base and this will happen quicker at higher temperatures as everything moves faster and the chance of the correct parts coming into contact over a given period of time is increased.

You may be aware of enzymes and the bell curve related to their performance against temperature. Similarly, bacteria will have a peak where they are at their most efficient before higher temperatures start to damage the structures of a bacteria - this will vary hugely between different types dependent on where they are adapted to live.
