Why did Lakers get 5th when they tie with Blazers?

Can someone clear that up for me? I mean they split the season series...

It must then go to the next tiebreaker.

Two-Team Tiebreaker
1. Better record in head-to-head games
2. Higher winning percentage in conference games
3. Higher winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division)
4. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference
5. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in opposite conference
6. Higher point differential between points scored and points allowed

The Lakers have a better record in the West (33-19) than the Blazers (29-23).
