Phoenix Suns dealing with first losing streak of 2013-14

This season got off to an unexpectedly pleasant start for the Phoenix Suns.

The team, led by a rookie head coach in Jeff Hornacek and stocked with a roster featuring eight new players, shocked everyone around the league by winning five of their first seven games.

Prior to the season, most Las Vegas oddsmakers had the rebuilding Suns pegged to win somewhere in the neighborhood of 21 games.

Reality has possibly set in with the Suns. They dropped their fourth straight game Wednesday night at US Airways Center, losing to the Sacramento Kings 113-106. With the loss, Phoenix (5-6) fell under .500 for the first time this season.
