NBA ROUNDUP Thursday’s game

Pistons 91, Heat 80

MIAMI — Tayshaun Prince scored a career-high 34 points and matched a career best with 12 rebounds, and the Detroit Pistons used a big second-half run to beat Miami in the season opener for both teams. Chauncey Billups added 19 points and 11 assists for the Pistons, who used a 12-0 run over a 6-minute stretch midway through the second half to take control. Rasheed Wallace scored 11 points for Detroit. Ricky Davis scored 23 points for Miami, which dropped its opener for the second straight season. Sure, this one was closer than last year’s 108-66 ring-night debacle against the Chicago Bulls, but that’ll offer little consolation. Shaquille O’Neal didn’t score in the first half and finished with nine points for Miami, getting only six shots from the floor.
