Klay Thompson added 21 points and the Warriors left holding their breath after An- drew Bogut left with a knee in- jury early in the first quarter. The Warriors called it "right knee irritation" and deemed his return to the game ques- tionable, but he watched the rest from the bench.

SOCCER Lady Spartans perfectin Oroville Corning takes 3rd place By Tom Withers The Associated Press CLEVELAND The Indians ad- dressed the need for more power in their lineup. Now Brandon Moss has to provide it. Cleveland finalized a trade — the first of the winter meetings — that has been in the works for weeks on Monday by acquiring Moss, a first baseman/outfielder and All-Star last season, from the Oakland Athletics for minor league infielder Joey Wendle. The 31-year-old Moss batted .234 with a 25 homers and 81 RBIs in a career-high 147 games for the A's. The left-handed hitter drew 67 walks and scored 70 runs. Moss hit .268 with 21 homers in the first half of the season to earn his first All-Star selection, but a nagging hip problem cut into his production over the final months. On Oct. 21, Moss underwent an operation performed in Nashville by Dr. Thomas Byrd. Moss told the San Francisco Chronicle that Byrd was prepared to perform mi- crofracture surgery but all that he needed was a labrum repair and cartilage cleanup, which should MLB In di an s acquire Mo ss f ro m Athletics The 4-0Corning Cardinals put their undefeated record on the line against at Las Plumas (2- 2) 7:30p.m. tonight.
