The oddsmakers set the bar high, but the Pistons and the Pacers didn't disappoint and broke past the 246.5 point over/under on Friday. Detroit suffered a grim 136-113 defeat to Indiana. The Pistons found out winning isn't easy when you make nine fewer threes than your opponent.

Meanwhile, the Wizards and the Hawks couldn't quite live up to the 250-over/under that the experts had forecasted. Things couldn't have gone much worse for Washington as they lost 136-108 to Atlanta on Saturday. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Wizards in their matchups with the Hawks: they've now lost five in a row.
