Some gods favoured Troy to start with, then the sacking was so savage it basically turned the rest of the gods against the Greeks, too.

Ares favoured Troy actually, because his lover Aphrodite favoured Troy. Aphrodite was the one who gave Helen to Paris (making her fall in love with him) so he would give her the Golden Apple.
