With Miyagi scoring, Shohoku continues to lead by almost fifteen points. As such, Taoka is forced to make Uozumi return to the game. Uozumi manages to reduce Ryonan's disadvantage with help from Sendoh, and continues rebounding most of Shohoku's missed shots. The high performances from Uozumi and Sendoh allow them to reduce Shohoku's lead to only ten points. Sendoh continues to contain both Rukawa and Sakuragi, and Miyagi has problems defending and commits fouls. Rukawa and Sendoh continue scoring making, alternately expanding and reducing Shohoku's advantage. However, with only two minutes left, Sendoh reduces the gap to only two points and Mitsui suddenly falls unconscious.
