About four hours before tip-off of game three of the NBA Finals, Knicks guard Tyler Kolek was getting dressed in a midtown hotel a stone’s throw from Madison Square Garden. Kolek is a sturdy 25-year-old backup who tends to get playing time when the Knicks are either up by a lot or down by even more. After two seasons with the team, he’s already a fan favorite off the bench, most notably for saving “Knicksmas” when he led a major comeback in a Christmas Day game against the Cleveland Cavaliers last year.
