Solutions 

The movers scored a total of 80 points in their game last night against the shakers. The movers had no - one point shots, and a total of 35 with 2 points and 3 points. 

We know that - 

Zero one shots were taken and a total of 35 with 2 points and 3 points. 

Lets see how many groups we can make that equal 35 with only using 2 points and 3 points.

Group α 

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3. 

There are 16 number 2's and one 3 that make 35. 

Group β 

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2

 There are 11 number 3's and one 2 that makes another group of 35.  

In conclusion there are two groups that make 35. 

The movers  could have scored 11 (3's) and one 2 or 16 (2's) and one 3.
