The Knicks watched a new holiday hero emerge, with Christmas 2025 belonging to Tyler Kolek against the Cavaliers.

And Clarkson promptly scored 11 points in the period, part of a huge 24-3 run that brought the Knicks right back into the game and gave them a six-point lead.

Then he recorded the biggest block of the Christmas 126-124 victory, a swipe on a driving and showboating Donovan Mitchell in the final two minutes of a thrilling comeback.
