Revolution win, clinch fifth seed in playoffs

Charlie Davies had a goal and an assist and the New England Revolution clinched a Major League Soccer playoff spot with a 3-1 victory over New York City FC on Sunday.

Fifth-seeded New England (14-12-8, 50 points) snapped a four-game winless streak and will travel to face fourth-seeded D.C. United (15-13-6, 51 points) in the Eastern Conference knockout round on Wednesday or Thursday. New York City (10-17-7, 37 points) ends its inaugural season with a three-game losing streak.

• Didier Drogba scored twice inside a minute early in the second half, and the Montreal Impact beat Toronto FC 2-1 in Montreal in their regular-season finale to secure a home playoff date.

The Impact (15-13-6) moved into third place and Toronto (15-15-4) fell to sixth in the Eastern Conference, so Montreal will be at home when the teams meet again in a playoff game.

• Sebastien Le Toux converted a penalty kick in the 41st minute and Andre Blake earned the shutout in the Philadelphia Union’s 1-0 victory in Chester, Pennsylvania, that knocked Orlando City out of playoff contention.

• Jack McInerney scored in the 25th minute and Ethan Finlay added a pair of second-half goals a minute apart as the Columbus Crew wrapped up second place in the Eastern Conference with a 5-0 victory over D.C. United in Columbus, Ohio.

U.S. WOMEN: Alex Morgan, Crystal Dunn and Stephanie McCaffrey scored to help the U.S beat Brazil 3-1 in an exhibition game before an announced crowd of 32,869 in Orlando, Florida.

It was the Americans’ second victory in a week over Brazil as the U.S. continues its World Cup victory tour.

NBA: LeBron James went through a full practice with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time since he received an anti-inflammatory injection in his back.

James had been limited to shooting drills and conditioning since getting the shot Oct. 13. But he took part in every aspect of Cleveland’s workout Sunday, increasing his chances of playing in the season opener Tuesday in Chicago.

Coach David Blatt described James’ practice as “a good step” and said it “bodes well” for the four-time MVP to face the Bulls to begin his 13th NBA season.

The 6-foot-10 Sims signed with the Suns on Sept. 16. He appeared in all six Phoenix preseason games.
