Some members of the Kings were annoyed by J.R. Smith's shooting exhibition at the end of Denver's 118-98 victory on Monday night.

Smith scored a career-high 45 points, including 11 three-pointers at the Pepsi Center.

"That's not being professional," Kings guard Bobby Jackson said. "At the end of a game, if a guy's hot, you're already up by 20, sub him out. Get somebody else in there. You just can't do things like that. This league is not about that. It's like they wanted to embarrass us and put on a show. You've got to be respectable. You've got to respect this game. That's not respecting the game."

Smith attempted eight three-pointers in the final seven minutes of the game, with the Nuggets having already locked up a win.
