According to one of the prominent sports analysts, the Laker's win was not reflective of a championship team; therefore, it doesn't count.
When the final buzzer sounded, the Lakers were ahead. It doesn't matter how they scored more points than the opposing team, just that they did. Pretty or not, they win. You lose. Let's move on to the next round in the play-offs, dude.

Did the Lakers come out flat in the third quarter? Yes.
Did they come close to blowing a 22 point lead? Yes.
Did they stop playing with intensity and passion? Yes.
Did they win the game? YES!
What a lot of the sports writers and newscasters seem to be saying is that the Jazz had nothing to do with it. They came out playing hard, hustling for the ball, and clawing for a win. They caught the Lakers with their proverbial shorts down and almost came back and stole the game. But the Lakers did what it takes to turn it around and win by 13 points, which is still edging toward "blowout" status.
While there certain were things the Lakers could have and should have done differently/better, they did what they had to in order to win. Let's give the Jazz some credit for playing better basketball, pulling together as a team, and making a pretty good run (and game) of it.
