Do we say ‘score a goal’ when a basketball player shoots and gets points? What do we say then? Thanks

We don't use the word 'goal' for basketball. Instead, you could simply say the person scored, or you could say they scored a basket or a point. Points depend on how it was scored, with a value of one, two or three being possible.
