Both of the players were given technical fouls, and Sochan was given a flagrant-1 after the review appeared to demonstrate that he had tripped Thompson.

In his words, "He is a good guy," Sochan remarked. It was nothing more than a matter of competition. As human beings, we do, and that is everything there is to it.
