Anthony Davis sparks Lakers as center in win over Jazz

LOS ANGELES -- Anthony Davis might have earned six All-Star selections with the New Orleans Pelicans by playing power forward, but he earned his first win with the Los Angeles Lakers by playing center.

Lakers coach Frank Vogel moved Davis from the 4 to the 5 at halftime on Friday, sparking a 95-86 win over the Utah Jazz in Davis' home debut for the Lakers. Davis finished with a hearty line of 21 points, seven rebounds, five blocks, two steals and two assists and left his imprint on both ends of the floor, with the help of the lineup adjustment.
