The lasting images in my mind of the Sixers’ 121-101 trouncing of the visiting Nets on Saturday in Game 1 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinals weren’t of Joel Embiid bullying his way inside for buckets. Philadelphia’s MVP candidate did drop 26 points on Brooklyn, but the Nets could live with that.
