In basketball, a "point" refers to a unit of scoring. Points are awarded to a team when a player successfully makes a basket, which can occur in various ways: 1. **Field Goal**: This is worth either two or three points, depending on where the shot is taken from. A shot made from inside the three-point arc is worth two points, while a shot taken from beyond the arc is worth three points.
