Their last defeat came on March 30 when they fell 127-122 in Cleveland, and they bounced back from that loss with a 96-87 victory in Orlando.
LA followed that up with five straight victories at home, beating New Orleans 114-98, Dallas 114-91 and 135-104, San Antonio 122-117 and Houston 134-117.
The Clippers then made it to eight-in-a-row with two more wins on the road, beating Sacramento 101-100 and Golden State 124-119 in double overtime.
Denver Nuggets Form
Denver secured another trip to the postseason by compiling a 50-32 regular season record that earned them fourth in the Western Conference.
The Nuggets endured a four-game losing skid late in the regular season, but rebounded to wrap up their schedule with three straight wins.
Their rough run started with a 140-139 double overtime defeat to Minnesota, which was followed by a 113-106 loss to San Antonio.
Denver then fell 118-104 at Golden State, before returning home for a 125-120 defeat at the hands of Indiana.
The Nuggets have not lost since though, backing up a 124-116 win in Sacramento with a 117-109 home win over Memphis and a 126-111 road victory in Houston.
