you get 3 points in one basket when you shoot the ball outside the big semi-circle in the court.
Three points can happen not only by this mechanism.
when you are shooting the ball and you get fouled, if the ball goes in, you will get a call "foul in" that means your basket counts. and you will get 1 attempt at the free throw line for 1 point.
