Sweep can apply to any sport, not just basketball. In a series of games between two teams, one team wins all the games and the other team wins none. The team that didn't win any would be said to have gotten swept.

It's is a slang term, referring to Clean Sweep, which means that one team beats the other team 4 straight games without a loss.

When a team wins every game in its series without a loss. The winning team swept its oppenent, the losing team was swept. The winnig team should win the series 4 games to none for it to be called a sweep.

It basically means that the loosing team did not win any games. It's kinda confusing with the switch from a best-of-3 to a best-of-5 to a best-of-7 series.
