The Charlotte Hornets have only a few hours to find a defense that might work tonight in a rematch against the Magic.

May we suggest the Baltimore Ravens'?

The Magic, in a 109-99 victory on Friday night, exposed the Hornets' zone, their man-to-man and any other tricked-up defenses they attempted. Nothing worked for Charlotte Coach Paul Silas against the NBA's highest-scoring team.

How about the nickel or the 3-4 tonight, Coach?

The Hornets might need to play seven-on-five. Orlando (7-6) produced an instructional video on how to bust the zone: Find shooters who are in their own.

And it doesn't hurt to have an opposing coach ? in this case, Silas ? who acts as an accomplice.

While Pat Garrity and Mike Miller came off the bench to hit eight 3-pointers in the first half, Silas refused to pull his team out of its zone during the Magic's shooting exhibition.
