I had Portland and was not too surprised by the ending, considering a majority of the money was on Portland. Three 'suspicious' things happened in the last 15 seconds of that game that made me think the game was fixed. After Portland's timeout they successfully inbounded the ball with 12 seconds left, up by three. At this point the game is essentially over, any team fouls immediately, instead Phoenix waits for Brandon Roy, 17-19 from the line, to get the ball and they foul him. He proceeds to hit both free throws. Portland is now up 5. Then there is quite a bit of contact on Nash's three pointer and there is no call (not saying it was a foul but I think it could have been). Lastly, Nash misses a last second gimme that would have given the Suns the cover. I don't think games are fixed from the get go but as soon as the winner is clear, Vegas makes sure that the team with less money on their side covers if possible. That's probably why the Lakers have lost 7 in a row against the spread. Gotta Love it.
