Hit=score?

Hi

If you score in basketball or any similar sport, would a commentator say something like:

"It was a hit! He hit the basket!!"

Is correct to say that?

What would you say instead? Just "score"? I've heard someone use "sink" , how is that used in sports?

Jargon depends on the sport.
eg In basketball, you sink a basket.
eg In golf or in billiards, you sink a ball.
