BOSTON — Two streaks are over. And therefore, the one that matters most endures.

Entering having lost their last 10 regular-season visits to Boston, the Miami Heat extended their winning streak to 23 on Monday night with a 105-103 victory over the Celtics at TD Garden. The loss also snapped the Celtics’ 11-game home winning streak.

The Heat now not only are in sole possession of the second-longest winning streak in league history, but more than two-thirds toward the league’s record streak of 33, set by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.
