Kings take epic DPOG photo on G1C roof after win vs. 76ers originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Kings celebrated their 113-107 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday at Golden 1 Center with a field trip.
They didn’t have to travel far.
Sacramento’s interim coach, Doug Christie, while speaking to his players in the team’s locker room after the game, told them, without explanation, to dress warm and follow him out of the locker room.
The Kings, understandably, were quite confused about where their coach was taking them, but soon found their way up to the arena roof, where veteran guard DeMar DeRozan was awarded the team’s Defensive Player of the Game honor.
The team photo, which has become a tradition after wins, was epic.
We on the roof wit it

Kings assistant coach Luke Loucks shared an up-close view of the beam in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Sacramento snapped its previous six-game losing streak with a win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday and won their second consecutive game on Wednesday night. They’ll look to extend their winning streak to three on Friday night when they host the Memphis Grizzlies.
And now having experienced the beam up close, perhaps their postgame field trip helped alleviate some of the stress from a frustrating 2024-25 NBA season.
The Sacramento Kings took an epic Defenders Player of the Game (DPOG) photo on the roof of the Golden 1 Center after their thrilling win against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team’s defense was on full display as they held the 76ers to just 98 points, securing the victory.
In the photo, the players can be seen posing with the DPOG trophy, celebrating their hard-fought win and showcasing their commitment to locking down opponents on the defensive end. The stunning backdrop of the Sacramento skyline added to the dramatic flair of the moment, capturing the team’s unity and determination to dominate on both ends of the court.
Fans of the Kings were quick to share the photo on social media, praising the team for their impressive performance and highlighting the importance of defense in securing victories. With this memorable moment captured, the Kings are poised to continue their winning ways and make a statement in the NBA. #KingsDefense #DPOG #WinningStreak.
