The high-flying Los Angeles Clippers failed to stretch their 17-game NBA winning streak into the New Year, slipping to defeat against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.
The streak was the longest in the NBA since the Boston Celtics won 19 straight from November 15-December 23 in 2008.
The Clippers came into the contest riding a club-record winning streak, their 107-96 victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday making them just the third team in league history to go 16-0 in a single calendar month
Danilo Gallinari scored 17 points and added six rebounds. Kenneth Faried scored 14 points with 11 rebounds for the Nuggets, who have won three of their past four games.
The Nuggets stopped the Clippers' impressive run with a 92-78 victory, handing Los Angeles their first defeat since they fell at home to New Orleans on November 26.
