Explanation:
How to Score
To score a basket in basketball, the ball must pass through the hoop from above. The shot must originate from somewhere on the playing area. If the ball does not pass completely through the basket, no points are counted.
Free Throw
Each free throw made counts as one point. The free-throw line is located 15 feet from the backboard in the center of the floor. For you to receive a free throw, the opposing team will have to commit a foul on you as you shoot or commit more than five personal fouls over the course of one quarter. If you are fouled as you sink a basket during game play, you will receive one bonus free throw. If you miss the shot, you will receive two or three free throws, depending on the location where the shot originated.
Two-Point Shot
Any basket from a shot taken from inside the three-point line during game play counts for two points. The three-point line is located 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the backboard. If a player steps on the three-point line before releasing the ball, the shot will count for only two points.
Three-Point Shot
Any basket from a shot taken from outside the three-point line counts for three points. The shooting player can step on or cross the three-point line after releasing the ball; the shot will still count for three points. The shooter must have at least one foot on the floor outside of the line before taking the shot.
Scoring Records
A National Basketball Association game can take a variety of different forms. The highest-scoring game on record was a 186-to-184 victory for Detroit over Denver in 1983; the lowest-scoring game was a 62-to-57 victory for Boston over Milwaukee in 1955. Wilt Chamberlain holds the record for most points scored in a season, 4,029, and in a game, 100. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar holds the career points record with 38,387.

Points are scored in basketball whenever a player throws the ball through the basket. The number of points awarded is determined by the type of shot and the distance from the basket from where it was aimed. The following are the three types of baskets found in various areas of the basketball court:
Explanation:
1. 2-Point Baskets: In basketball, the 2-point basket is the most common kind of scoring. Any shot made from inside the 3-point line (22 feet) that is a jump shot, layup, or slam qualifies for this category.
2. 3-Point Baskets: Shots that one aimed beyond the 3-point line for which player earns an extra point for making long-range shots.
3. Free throws: When a player gets a foul while shooting the ball, he/she gets a free throw. If the shot is missed, the shooter receives two free throws for two-point attempts and three extra throws for three-point attempts.
- Extra three throws are awarded even when the team committing the foul is in the penalty, which occurs when a team commits five or more fouls in a quarter. Any defensive or loose ball foul after the fifth foul in a row results in two free throws for the opposing team, regardless of whether they are shooting the ball or not.
