Unless the clock just happens to be in my peripheral vision, I see no need to make any undue effort to glance at the clock at this moment.

I think most clocks are on the walls behind (and to the side of) each basket. So, if you're L, on the endline, the clock is usually / often in your line of sight -- it's just "beyond" where you're usually focused.
And, frequently, the players in the FC aren't really doing anything in terms of denying the ball / setting screens until the ball gets to the FC.
So, you have time to glance at the clock.
