While live on Twitch, Lynx guards Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at everything from conversations in their hotel room to parties to locker room scenes.

The official Pulse NFL Draft stance tonight: The Saints must be nice to me.

lol I’m just glad nothing was wrong!
