Not a sweep, they took the series 4-1.

A sweep generally means winning 4-0.

Game 5 - 106-88
Game 4 - 84-122
Game 3 - 106-99
Game 2 - 105-98
Game 1 - 107-89

TrippyFocus OP Mod ,

I said “gentleman’s sweep” which means a team won in 5 games. Some say it’s specifically when a team goes up 3-0, is a “gentleman” and lets the other team win 1 at home to not get swept, and then finishes the series in game 5. Which would also be the case here.

Phegan ,

A gentleman's swep is a specific 4-1 win where the winners take games 1-3, loose 4 and win game 5
