Tuesday was not a good day for Dub Nation. In fact, it was an absolute nightmare. The visiting Dallas Mavericks thumped the Golden State Warriors to the tune of a 133-103 drubbing at Chase Center. The Warriors found themselves on the wrong side of history on Tuesday with some historic stat lines that they would rather see get erased from everyone's memory. Here are three of them:
(1) – Per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN Stats & Info), Dallas' 28-0 run bridging between the first and second quarters marked the 2nd longest scoring run over past two decades. It also tied the New York Knicks' run against the Toronto Raptors during the 2017-18 season.
According to @EliasSports, the Mavericks 28-0 run is tied for the 2nd-longest scoring run by any team over the last 20 seasons and the longest since the Knicks went on a 28-0 run against the Raptors on Nov. 22, 2017. pic.twitter.com/NCWvDzFZuD

(2) Furthermore, Golden State's 9:38 scoring drought on Tuesday marked the longest time a team laid an egg on the scoreboard since 2009, via Nick Friedell of ESPN.
Via @EliasSports: "The Warriors went 9 minutes and 38 seconds without scoring, the longest scoring drought in a game since December 6, 2009 when the Bucks went 11:25 without scoring a point against the Cavaliers."
Wow.

(3) Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic led the barrage with a game-high 39 points and he only needed 28 minutes to do his masterpiece. Per Elias Sports (via ESPN Stats & Info), Doncic's 39 points is just behind Dirk Nowitzki for the most points in less than 30 minutes played in franchise history.
Luka Dončić scored 39 points in 28 minutes played tonight. According to @EliasSports, that's the 2nd-most points scored in fewer than 30 minutes played in Mavericks history.

So? Klay Thompson scored 60 points in 29 minutes. What's so great about what Luka did?
Just kidding. Us Dubs fans just need something to feel good about.
Dallas absolutely poured it on in the first quarter and the Warriors couldn't turn off the faucet from the Mavs' onslaught. To make things worse, they drew blanks on the other end as Dallas ended the quarter on a 25-0 run. After a three from Jalen Brunson to kick off the second period, Jordan Poole finally stopped the severe bleeding with a triple.
The Warriors were never able to recover and eventually lost by 30. Somebody get the Men in Black to neuralize Dub Nation so they can completely erase that game from their memories.
