Win like you might lose to them next week, because you might.

Winning hands you a short burst of power over how the other side feels, and spending it feels good for about a day. Seasons are long and rosters shuffle, so the person you ran up the score on will probably see you again with the advantage reversed. How you behave at the top gets remembered by exactly the people who will be there when you are not.

Celebrate the play and leave the person out of it. Shake hands, say something true about what they did well, and let the result speak. You will want the same from them in a month.
