Cold-blooded, just like "The Black Mamba."

Los Angeles Lakers rookie D'Angelo Russell went off in Tuesday's win over the Brooklyn Nets.

With Kobe Bryant sidelined, Russell popped off for a career-high 39 points, including eight threes, on a blistering 14-of-21 shooting.

Two of Russell's threes came in the final minute of the game, which prompted the talented rookie to proclaim: "Ice in my veins."
