Steve Novak hitting bunches of threes (ESPN.com)
Jeremy Lin gets the headlines. But Steve Novak gets the threes. The New York Knicks' backup small forward is having a good February shooting the long ball. He's knocked down 32 3-pointers this month. He hit five 3-pointers in the Knicks' 99-82 win over the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night.
Novak finished the evening with 17 points (6-12 FG), two rebounds, two steals and a turnover in 22 minutes.
In the month of February, he's averaging 10.6 points (42.9 percent FG and 100 percent FT), 2.8 rebounds, .2 assists, .5 steals and .1 blocks in 20.7 minutes. He's not a must add, but he's a really solid pickup if you need threes.
Now for the obligatory Lin mention. Another good game for Linsanity: 17 points (6-11 FG and 4-4 FT), a three, two rebounds, nine assists, two steals and four turnovers. Ride on.
