Pacers journalist Caitlin Cooper reports that Nesmith has maintained a flawless record this season, making all 17 of his attempts during the final five minutes of games where the score difference is within five points.<\/p>\n<p>Nesmith&#8217;s stellar performance was on display during a recent Monday night game against the Sacramento Kings. In the closing 20 seconds, he successfully made six free throws, securing a narrow 111\u2013109 victory for the Pacers.<\/p>\n<p>Post-game, Nesmith shared his straightforward philosophy with reporters. &#8220;You gotta make your free throws, they\u2019re free,&#8221; he asserted, emphasizing the importance of capitalizing on these opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>His impeccable record in clutch situations this season underscores the significance of his advice.
