Following an epic Game 6 rally from Houston Rockets Thursday night in Los Angeles, ESPN First Take’s Stephen A. Smith admitted defeat.
I'm officially a damn fool. My apologies to the @HoustonRockets. Not only did I think they'd lose, I thought they'd get blown out.#EggOnFace

After the Rockets being down 3-1 endured shots from Smith the last week questioning their fortitude and desire to play. Clearly, last night they answered the bell.
The Rockets were down 19 at one point in the 3rd and came back to win by outscoring the Clippers 40-15 in the fourth quarter to win 119-107. Houston will play in a Game 7 Sunday, just one win away from reaching the Western Conference Finals.
Will see if Stephen A. Smith doubts them in a Game 7 at home, tune in to ESPN First Take later on this morning.
