Spades is a plain trick game: standard trick play and trump rules apply (spades being the trump suit in this game) and the number of tricks taken is what matters, not what cards were in the tricks taken (as in the game of Hearts).
It is important to realize that in Spades both sides' bids stand (it is not like other bidding games in which only the higher bid counts).
A trick containing a spade is won by the highest spade played; if no spade is played, the highest card of the suit led wins the trick.

 Master Spades: Tips Page 1
A key step in the development of Spades players, after acquiring the habit of counting the cards as they are played, is to acquire the judgement of knowing when it is right to lead spades.
The power of a long spade suit is derived not from its ability to ruff the opponents’ tricks, but from its ability to draw the opponents’ trumps.
There are also times to lead spades strictly for defensive purposes; every good player knows that the only way to stop an enemy crossruff is to lead trump, regardless of your holding.
