three-point

Long-range basketball shot

Three-point describes something involving three points or positions.

In basketball, a three-point shot or three-pointer is taken from beyond the arc and worth three points rather than two.

A three-point turn is a method of reversing a vehicle's direction in a confined space using three movements: forward, backward, then forward again.
