Steve Novak is focused on Game 4 against the Heat, regardless of whether it's his last as a member of the Knicks.

“I really haven’t given next year any thought,” he said. “I’m kind of of the mindset that during the season I never look at my own statistics. Just to not get ahead of myself and think at the end of the season, what should they be and that kind of thing. And I feel the same way really about free agency.”

Novak, who will be an unrestricted free agent, is open to returning to the Knicks.

“Absolutely,” he said. “Without a doubt. This has been a really good year. I think obviously speaking exactly where we’re at now, we’re down 0-3 and things don’t seem as good. But I feel like we’ve done good things and we’ve made big steps.

“More than anything, I just have loved playing basketball here.”
