The Phoenix Suns responded to an exasperating six-game losing streak, which included a pair of unlucky losses on last-second baskets, with three straight road victories, including an impressive 104-92 win at the 19-6 Washington Wizards on Sunday to climb back over .500 (15-14).

Hornacek said the win against the Wizards, who came into the game with a 13-2 home record, could be a turning point for the team.

“I told the guys the other day: Any game could be your catapult to the rest of the season … the Washington game might have been the one,” Hornacek said on Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Monday.

The Suns are currently tied for with the New Orleans Pelicans for the Western Conference’s eighth playoff seed, with the now-healthy Oklahoma City Thunder close behind. Is that an ideal spot for the Suns to be in at this point of the season?
