Carmelo Anthony has insisted that the New York Knicks have not started looking to next season as they try to make a late run for the playoffs.

The Atlantic Division side are two wins off eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, but have won their last six games in a row.

Following last night's 115-94 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, the forward told reporters: "We've got to really focus in on what's the task at hand, and that's still trying to make this push and not even looking forward to next season at this point.

"The easiest thing to do is to start talking about next year at this point in time right now, but the guys on the team seem pretty confident about just staying focused right now, winning basketball games and try to make this push for the playoffs."

The Knicks play again on Wednesday, when they host the Indiana Pacers.
