I'm more familiar with playing to win vs playing not to lose.
You'll often see teams with a lead squeeze their sticks too tight and play very timidly. Playing not to lose rather than keep rolling along.
In terms of momentum I think a win's a win. Garbage go counts the same as a beauty.
Take yesterday's game. First goal deflected in off the defender's leg. Second goal was highlight reel by Gio. Regardless still 2-0, no extra points for the fake then deke.
