The heat may have been turned up under David Fizdale’s seat, but the Knicks coach is feeling good about the support he is getting from up top.

In the four games since president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry seemingly put Fizdale on notice with their impromptu postgame press conference, the Knicks are 2-2. Mills and Perry’s rare public comments — suggested by owner James Dolan in a mid-game meeting while the Knicks were getting blown out by the Cavaliers — made clear their displeasure with the team’s effort and consistency through the first 10 games of the season.

But Fizdale said his own conversations with Dolan have come regularly and with an encouraging message.

“Every game, every game. Jim Dolan comes in and gives me a vote of confidence, a pat on my back and really has just been incredibly encouraging over the last year and a half or whatever it’s been,” Fizdale said Tuesday at the team’s practice facility. “All we talk about is just sticking to the process of making these guys better and building for a future of sustainable winning.”

The day after Mills and Perry hijacked the press conference — which Fizdale said Tuesday said he took no issue with, despite not knowing it was coming — an ESPN report indicated Mills had already begun “laying the internal groundwork” to fire Fizdale.

For now, though, Fizdale has held the line. The Knicks have still yet to win consecutive games this year, but they have delivered three straight consistent efforts, including a second win over Kristaps Porzingis and the Mavericks and blowing out the Cavaliers in a rematch Monday night.

“I think everybody else went into, ‘Oh my god,’ but all I could think about was, we just got our ass kicked and how do I make our team better,” Fizdale said of the press conference aftermath.

“It was like, ‘We do got to play better basketball. We do got to get to a place where we start to trust each other and do the things necessary to give ourselves a chance to win every night.’ So we [he, Mills and Perry] spoke immediately after that and, like I said, I’m in the trench with those guys.”

Fizdale said the message from management was more about being competitive than wins and losses, “because we’re still developing kids.” He cited the 19-year-old (RJ Barrett), 20-year-old (Kevin Knox) and 21-year-olds (Frank Ntilikina, Dennis Smith Jr., Mitchell Robinson) that are at the core of what the Knicks are doing, and even Julius Randle and Bobby Portis only being 24.

“Although we’re developing them, we just feel like we’re trying to fast-track them a little more now,” Fizdale said.

Now, that progress will be put to the ultimate test over the next 10 games as the Knicks enter a gauntlet of competition. The challenging schedule begins Wednesday night when they travel to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers, and they won’t be able to come up for air until Dec. 11 against the Warriors.

The Knicks may be hard-pressed for wins, but a consistent effort through the tough stretch may decide how Fizdale’s story ends.

“I signed on to come here to contribute to building a culture. The building of a culture is not an easy thing,” Fizdale said. “What usually happens is teams fragment when things get tough. But what we’ve done is we’ve gotten more connected. We’ve come together more. That is the first sign of a real culture starting to develop.

“We understood that this process was going to be difficult. I don’t think anybody had any misconceptions about that. But we also have a standard that we gotta hold ourselves to, to perform at a higher level from an effort standpoint. We just felt like our effort was becoming inconsistent. That’s the first thing we wanted to address as a group and I think we’re getting there.”
