Why was Embiid not suspended

I watched it a lot of times.  Here is what I saw and why I thought Embiid should have been ejected.

Embiid elbow to the face.
When they went down Embiid made no effort to not land on Collins.  Looked a little blatent the way he fell on Collins.
Collins knew this and pushed Embiid off of him
Embiid then went after Collins and just pushed him with his body about 6 ft until Collins had no where to go and towered over him like he was an apex predator making his prey submit to him. 

None of what Embiid did was ok there.  We've seen players get ejected for less.  I think what Embiid did was less then what the Joker did to get ejected.  Just because a punch was not thrown does not mean he didn't do something ejection or suspension worthy. 

Now I hate Embiid and feel he is notorious for this kind of behavior and his history should be taken into account.  What if Collins fell on the camera man and tore his ACL.  It didn't happen but an awkward fall like his and the taunting at the end to me was worthy of an ejection or suspension.  I mean in today's NBA a stiff fart gets a foul called.

Unfortunately, the NBA is all about acting. If Collins stayed on the ground, after Embiid backed him down, and acted like he was hurt, then the referees may have reviewed the play as a hostile act and assessed a flagrant 1.

In regards to game 7, there was a play towards the end of the game when Huerter attempted a 3 and Thybulle tried to block the shot from behind. Instead Thybulle pretty much elbowed Huerter in the head so hard, Huerter’s head may have hit his shoulder. I thought any contact to the head was essentially an automatic review for a hostile act. There was no review. I immediately thought to myself, if Huerter had stayed on the ground and acted dazed, the referees would have been forced to go to replay.
