Had points in the underworld (5)
I believe the answer is:
hades
'underworld' is the definition.
(I know that underworld can be written as Hades)
'had points' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'es' (E is an example).
'had'+'es'='HADES'
'in the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for hades that I've seen before include "It's classical hell in the shade" , "Underworld, hell" , "Greek god of the underworld" , "In Greek myth, the Underworld" , "Inferno" .)
