The San Antonio Spurs are coming off a loss on Monday night to the Golden State Warriors at home despite beating them without Victor Wembanyama on the road on Saturday.

The team's mixed results have them dropping one spot in CBS Sports' latest power rankings. The team now places at No. 26 after being No. 25 last week.

"Who guessed that the Spurs' only win this week would come without Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell ... on the road ... against one of the hottest teams in the league? Maybe Pop? Nah, not even him. The Dom Barlow Show was in full effect, as the youngster had 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists off the bench in the win over Golden State, while Keldon Johnson, Malaki Branham and Jeremy Sochan all scored 20 points or more," CBS Sports writes.

The strong play from young players like Barlow, Branham and Sochan make things promising for the Spurs, who don't have much to play for in the final month of the season.

The goal from here is to simply be as competitive as possible and play spoiler against teams fighting for playoff spots.
