The past few days have been a whirlwind for the Golden State Warriors. Faced with an impromptu back-to-back against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a game postponement, the Warriors found themselves heavily depleted for the second night.

Eight players were ruled out for the Warriors before tipoff, and although Anthony Edwards was also out for the Timberwolves, it was going to be an extremely tall task for the Dubs without Steph Curry and the rest of the Warriors' veterans.

It became immediately clear that the Warriors were shorthanded, which resulted in one of the worst offensive nights of the decade en route to a 108-83 blowout loss.

After the game, Steve Kerr got straight to the point when talking about what they could take away from the loss.

"I felt like we had a chance going in, but we were going to have to make some shots and take care of the ball. 9-39 from three and 19 turnovers is not going to get it done."

Kerr also dove into how Rudy Gobert really affected their offense on his own, complimenting the Timberwolves big man's ability.

"He was great. We were trying to put him in pick-and-roll in the first half and pick-and-pop stuff with Quinten (Post) to pull him away from the hoop, but he's one of the best defenders in the league for a reason and covered the paint, was able to get back out to Quinten, and really clogged things up."

If there's any consolation from this game, it's what Kerr had to say in evaluation of his players' multitude of injuries.

"Melton and Horford for sure (will be back). Hopefully, Steph and Draymond (too). Leaving them out tonight was because they're banged up. The knee for Steph has been nagging him so hopefully getting today off and tomorrow off, he'll be ready to go on Wednesday."

The Warriors have seven games remaining until the All-Star Break. At 26-22, they currently sit at No. 8 in the Western Conference, just 2.5 games behind Minnesota for the 6th-seed and 4 games behind the Rockets for the 4th-seed. However, their upcoming schedule is nothing to coast on leading into the break.

After the Jazz game on the road, the Warriors will return to the Bay Area for a two-game stint against a pair of Eastern Conference teams: the East-leading Detroit Pistons and the 24-21 Philadelphia 76ers. Both games will be difficult as the Warriors look to exact revenge for the difficult loss they suffered against the 76ers in December after facing the top dogs in the East for the first time this season.

After that, a short trip to Phoenix and Los Angeles will pit the Warriors against the Suns and Lakers, two games bound to be extremely competitive, before they finish off the first half of the season with two games at home against the Memphis Grizzlies and the San Antonio Spurs.

The Jazz and Grizzlies are the only two teams of those seven with clearly worse records than the Warriors, so it's going to be tough sledding before the Warriors reach a much-needed 8-day break for All-Star festivities.
