No play summed up the impact Brown had more than a dunk over Heat center Bam Adebayo with 5:16 remaining, opening up an 89-71 lead for the Celtics.
Boston's bench, naturally, loved every second of it, namely Malik Fitts and Matt Ryan.
Miami's contingent, including team president Pat Riley and executive Alonzo Mourning...not so much.
Brown finished the game with 25 points on 10 of 19 shooting, including a 5 for 9 showing from beyond the arc.
