Ok, um, "winning" is sort of the process of accumulating more points than your opponent in some sort of contest. In basketball, points are awarded (most often) for putting the ball through a metal ring. Whichever team is awarded the most points by the end of the normal playing time is declared the "winner".

This is, of course, slightly different in golf, where the players are trying to accumulate fewer points (strokes) than their opponents. That is, of course, unless they're using the Stableford scoring system.
