The Celtics star also asked the referee to review the play, accusing Lowry of always instigating and attempting to break his arm.
The former Raptor responded to Brown, saying he was only trying to foul him. Brown answered, "You do that all the time. Watch yourself."
The TNT announcers, particularly Reggie Miller, recognized that Brown took offense at the excessive physical contact with Lowry.
The Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat will battle it out in the winner-takes-all Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals at the TD Garden in Boston.
The winner of that game will face the well-rested Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Finals.
