In game, sure.
But post game the coaches and players go back to the tapes and see what they can learn from the game. Then they hit the practice courts.
As an aside, my personal experience is that success can also be cause for depression, feelings of failure and weakness. Growing is hard. Surrendering control, and the (inevitable?) cultural dilution post acquisition is hard. It was my baby. Now it's not.

For this too you mourn.
