Jalen Brunson and the Knicks came back from a 17-point fourth quarter deficit to beat the Cavaliers in the Christmas opener. Here's what you missed.

Christmas … baby, please come back. The New York Knicks fulfilled that request and some in their latest holiday haunt, as a festive fourth quarter yielded a 126-124 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.

But this fan’s intuition was correct. Kolek, who has never been constrained by nerves or wavering confidence, took and buried that 3-pointer. 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.

That is a problem for another day. Christmas is for giving thanks and unwrapping new gifts, and the Knicks were gifted a new-and-improved bench capable of keeping the team in or flat-out winning games when the starters come up short.
