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.
