The Sixers were seeking their first win of the season without Joel Embiid, but after they got off to an immediate 8-0 lead, Indiana pulled away and looked destined to send Philadelphia to 0-5 without the big man in the lineup. Then, Doc Rivers decided to go with what he dubbed the “John Cheney matchup zone,” and it completely turned the game around.
