Mercy rules are more common in baseball where there is no game clock and games can go on and on. What happens in a basketball game if a team is leading by 75 points after three quarters or in a soccer game if a team is ahead by 10 goals at halftime? Should those games be stopped?

In amateur football if, for example, team A is ahead by 35 points – the clock will run and the losing team gets the ball back, if they score. I;m sure in basketball, the clock runs.
