NBA Christmas Day: Celtics vs Heat

The second Christmas Day game is at TD Garden: Miami, with Giannis Antetokounmpo after his July move from Milwaukee, plays the Celtics and Jayson Tatum at 2:30 p.m. ET on ESPN and ABC.

TD Garden sits on Causeway Street above North Station, at the north edge of downtown. The Orange and Green lines stop at North Station. The West End and the North End are under 15 minutes on foot; Beacon Hill is a short walk up the hill.

Christmas week fills Boston rooms early, and the Garden shares its block with North Station. A West End or Beacon Hill hotel cuts the walk on a day when the streets around Causeway are already full.
