It's sportsmanship. I played basketball from 4th grade to senior year. I remember games where the other team, usually from a small rural school (smaller than ours) and coach had everyone but the water girl in the game. It's just sportsmanship, which means class whether you win or lose.
Like lookout said, the fundamentals.
Don't get me wrong, we were also competitive and wanted to win and played hard...but in a situation like that we'd lay way back.
I heard the coach of the other team said his team had fun, and that's all that matters to them. Now there's sportsmanship.
