help me understand this foul
I am a diamond sports official, but I would like some help understanding this call.

Looks like a bad call to me. I guess the official saw Lowry's feet kick out and perhaps trip the defender, but that looks marginal to me.

I briefly searched the NBA rule and case books but found nothing about this situation. APG?

Correct call IMO. Lowlrey sticks out his leg and causes contact when it's clear that the defender won't be contacting him. Though the contact isn't great, the contact trips up the defender. As alluded to JMF's article, the NBA started more strictly enforcing these types of plays as offensive fouls and similar plays in past POE videos bares this out.

Could be correct by NBA rules/interps (certainly not my area of expertise), but after looking at the replay multiple times, it doesn't look to me like the offensibe player stuck his leg out. In fact, after the ball was released, the defender makes contact on the arm of the shooter (last replay starting @ ~1:38 shows this best) which is what appears to be the cause of the body twist/right leg going forward.

If you are asking whether the technical foul was correct, yes at all levels.

The right leg was going forward before any of that marginal contact with the arm after the release.
