In Basketball the clock pretty much runs anyway. It only stops for dead ball situation, and basically that does not take that much time if the officials keep the game going.

Rut,
With a really unskilled, down-by-30 team on the floor:

Lotsa fouls

Lotsa out-a-bounds

Lotsa travels

Lotsa crashes

Lotsa substitutions

Lotsa time-outs by losing coach who has finally to use that venue to finally begin coaching.

The fans even get tired of yelling and begin yawning.
