As far as Dallas Mavericks guard Delonte West is concerned, moral victories are for losers.

So when he was asked to analyze how close the short-handed Mavs played the heavy-hitting Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night at INTRUST Bank Arena, West didn’t want him hear any of that.

“We don’t take (any) moral victories over here,” West said. “Every game we go into — full roster or not — we are trying to win.”
