Embiid was a spectator in Game 1 of the first-round series because of a broken orbital bone around his left eye. The Sixers could end this one early with Embiid back in the lineup. Simmons dished and dazzled in the paint and the Heat had no answer for Sixers reserves Marco Belinelli and Ersan Ilyasova. Brown won 47 games his first three seasons as the Sixers underwent the Process — and 52, plus Game 1 this season. The Sixers crowd roared as Embiid, the self-proclaimed “Phantom of the Process,” waved his arms toward the crowd and exhorted them to get louder.
