Tōō High gets out to an early lead as the match continues.

During halftime, Seirin decides they must bench Kuroko so he can regain some strength, forcing Kagami and Aomine into a one-on-one battle.

Kuroko is subbed back in and Seirin slowly cuts the lead down. However, Kagami has avoided using his injured leg, and now his good one is about to collapse and he is benched.
