The invincibility of the LA Clippers lasted for five weeks and 17 games, Denver was also in that series, but Nagitski did not allow Chris Paul and Blake Griffin to humiliate them for the second time.
The team from the City of Angels lost in Colorado (92:78) and stopped just two steps away from the record held by the Boston Celtics - the Celtics had 2008 victories in a row in 19.
Danilo Gallinari led the group of six players with double-digit performance in the winning team with 17 points. Andre Miller recorded 12 points and assists each, reaching his 204th double-double performance in his career, but also his first this season.
The Clippers failed, and Griffin admitted it.
"We were a step slower than usual. We can do much better and we certainly won't cry too much about this loss and the interruption of a big series," said Griffin, who scored 12 points on the losing team.
Amari Stoudemire's return after injury did not bring anything new to New York - the Knicks lost at home to Portland (105:100) and recorded only the third loss in "Madison Square Garden" this season (in 15 games).
Stoudemire had the effect of six rebounds in 17 minutes, and Carmelo Anthony (45) and JR Smith, who participated from the bench with 28 hits, excelled.
Nikola Batum led the Blazers with 26 points, Demi Lillard gave 21, LaMarcus Aldridge 19, with 14 caught balls...
The young team of Philadelphia "ran over" the LA Lakers in the "Staples Center" (103:99). "Jezerasi" now have an effect of 15 points and 16 losses, and that is their worst score after 31 games since the 2002/2003 season.
Dallas ended a six-game losing streak with a win over Washington in the capital.
