In a season that has had way more blowout losses than the Golden State Warriors were hoping for, Wednesday night's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs might have been the most telegraphed blowout of them all.

The Warriors continue to hurt on the injury report, as they had a staggering 9 players out for this game, including key pieces like Steph Curry, Kristaps Porzingis, Gui Santos, and more. As a result, only nine players were healthy enough to even see the floor, and two-way player Nate Williams ended up playing an unreal 47 minutes in his first start of the season.

Additionally, the Spurs are one of the best teams in the league, having lost just two games since the calendar turned to February — 25-2 over their last 27 games. They're also building a case for their star player, Victor Wembanyama, to win MVP, especially considering his 41-point, 16-rebound double-double he just had the game prior on Monday.

Thus, things played out about as expected. The Warriors fell behind from the opening tip and were never really competitive in this game. Wembanyama dropped another 41-point double-double, this time with 18 rebounds, and the Dubs lost their 40th game of the season, 127-113.

One common saying in sports is to "flush" a game, usually when it's a very poor outcome and a team needs to turn its attention to the next.

With another contest with the Cleveland Cavaliers less than 24 hours later, this is the exact method the Warriors will be using for this loss to the Spurs, as Steve Kerr said in his postgame press conference.

"We turn our attention to Cleveland right away. We won't watch any film of this game with the players tomorrow. We'll watch it as a staff. The main takeaways from this game is we got a really good look at a lot of our young players ... More than anything, this is about watching a lot of the young guys and giving them a chance to play, and they did a great job."

Despite all of the injuries and the fact that the Spurs have a top-three defense in the NBA, led by Wembanyama, who is the runaway favorite for Defensive Player of the Year, the Warriors' offense wasn't actually as bad as it could have been.

They shot 48.8% from the field and 40% from three on 35 attempts, both well above their season averages, and their 113 total points were just under the season average of about 115 per game.

Individually, the points were distributed very evenly, as fans have come to expect from these incredibly shorthanded games. 7 of the 9 Warriors scored at least 12 points, led by Williams with 18 points and both Omer Yurtseven and LJ Cryer with 17.

All in all, while the game wasn't exactly close by any means, it was a solid effort put forth by the Warriors, and with the knowledge that some of their injured teammates may return soon, such as Steph Curry, it can only get better from here.
