She’s good at basketball. She’s the best player in my class. She’s very good at scoring goals and she can run fast.

When we talk about basketball, we usually use ‘make a basket’ to mean ‘throw the ball into the basket’. And when we talk about football, we use ‘score a goal’ to mean ‘kick the ball into the net’. But here the book uses ‘scoring goals’ to talk about basketball. Is that common?
