I see this same mistake made every year, but a Gentlemen's Sweep is not just a series win in 5 games...
Gentlemen's Sweep: Where Team A wins the first 3 games of the series, Team B wins Game 4 of the series, and then Team A closes out the series in Game 5. Team A has basically already won the series by being up 3-0, but they're being a "gentlemen" by not sweeping the opponent and letting them win 1 game before closing them out. An example of this is Denver beating Minnesota this year.
Bonus definition for another type of 5 game series...
Backdoor Sweep: Where Team B wins Game 1, but then Team A wins 4 straight games to win the series in 5 games. An example is the Suns vs Clippers this year where the Clippers won Game 1, but the Suns still won the series in 5 games.
