Philadelphia: Sixers closing in on top spot

🏀Sixers: We’ve been waiting all season for the 76ers to clinch the No. 1 seed in the East...and thanks to the Indiana Pacers’ second-half comeback on Tuesday, we’re still waiting. The Sixers are two games ahead of the No. 2 Brooklyn Nets, so just one more win or one more Nets loss will lock in Philly’s place.

• Hopefully that win will come tonight when the Sixers take on the Miami Heat at 7:30 p.m. ET. Feeling hot, hot, hot.

🎓🥍Women’s lacrosse: After each team fell short in their respective conference championship games, both the Drexel Dragons and the Temple Owls received at-large bids to the NCAA tournament. This is the Dragons’ first tournament appearance, and the Owls’ first appearance in 13 years. Impressive.

• The Dragons will face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights while the Owls take on the UMass Minutewomen in tomorrow’s first-round action. Both games start at 4 p.m. ET. Time to chase that ’ship.

🔢Box scores:

• ⚾️The Phillies popped off in the 10th inning, beating the Washington Nationals 5–2 last night. While catcher J.T. Realmuto wasn’t back behind the plate, he reportedly doesn’t have any serious injuries after a collision during Tuesday’s win had us worried. Phew.

• ⚽️The Union drew 1–1 with the New England Revolution, with the lone goal coming off a header from Kacper Przybyłko. Still DOOPin’.
