Groove gets points (5)
I believe the answer is:
score
This clue is a double definition.
'groove' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'points' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for score that I've seen before include "Musical composition in written form" , "record" , "Orchestrate; twenty" , "Reckoning" , "Tally; scratch" .)
