The change — which was approved by the state Attorney General’s Office and the Holy See, the governing office of the Catholic Church — is essentially a transfer of sponsorship from one nonprofit Catholic organization to another, with Providence taking over for SCL Health System.

I need to know what's going on with the team. But reality set in. The story wasn't at the Lakers' game. They're out of playoff contention and they were playing the Sacramento Kings, a similarly awful team. No, I needed to spend the day at the Clippers' training facility, where there was plenty of action. The Clippers, on...
