Seattle's Nneka Ogwumike had 17 points and eight rebounds as the Storm defeated the host Phoenix Mercury 89-70 on Thursday night in what may have been the final home game of Phoenix legend Diana Taurasi's career.

Taurasi, 42, has not officially announced she is retiring after this season, but the Mercury hinted in promotional material that Thursday could be Taurasi's final bow. Retired WNBA icon Sue Bird and UConn coach Geno Auriemma -- Taurasi's college coach from 2000-04 -- were among those in attendance.
