The win brought the Celtics’ rare two-game losing skid to a halt and gave them a boost of confidence as the season approaches its final stretch.

The Celtics avoided their first three-game losing streak of the season Sunday with a gritty 110-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets at TD Garden.

Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 22 points, and Al Horford contributed 19 points and eight rebounds. Derrick White and Horford played key roles down the stretch.
