Hate when it’s misused. It only applies when the higher seeded team wins the first three game, “lets” the opponent win game 4 on its home court, and then closes it out in 5.

The whole idea is they are the far superior team but throw the opponent a bone. You can’t lose game 1 and then gentlemen sweep someone.

It applies anytime the winning team loses one game but dominated the series… doesn’t necessarily have to be game 4 either

Like the Pistons-Lakers 2004 finals… that was a GSweep
