In the paint means in the foul lane. If you don't know where the foul lane is, it is in between the two lines that surround the basket where the players line up for foul shots, and its boundaries are the baseline( the out of bounds line near the basket), the foul line, and the two lines connecting the foul line to the baseline. In the paint means someone is inside that zone.

Points in the paint refers to baskets shot inside the area of the court from the free throw line to the baseline. A visualization would be the area enclosed by the players during a foul shot.

It means the total number of points scored in the key. The key is the painted rectangular spot underneath the basket. Therefore comes points in the "paint".

It is the total points that the team has scored when they shot the ball from inside the lane/paint which is the area that is right underneath the basket that extends to the free throw line

it's the amount of points scored in the key, or the painted area of the court.

shots in the "painted" are of the "key" of the ball court. In other words, under the basket
