Napheesa Collier says Diana Taurasi 's potential retirement has been a theme throughout the WNBA season.

Collier: "It seems like it's her retirement tour. Hopefully, we can end her career on Wednesday " Phoenix Mercury lost 102-95 to the Minnesota Lynx in Game 1 of their first -round WNBA playoff series.

The Lynx have defeated the Mercury in five of their last six meetings in the playoffs.

On Wednesday , Taurasi might play the last game in one of the greatest runs in basketball history. But the former MVP and three -time WNBA champion competed Sunday as if she had no interest in finishing her career in Minneapolis . In Game 2 , however, Collier & Co. may not give her the choice. "We're going for the [championship] and that's what our goals are set on," Collier said..
