On Saturday, during the Dodgers' playoff game against the Braves, the temperature reached 110°F in Los Angeles despite a heat wave. Vanessa Bryant, widow of NBA star Kobe Bryant and one of LA's most beloved figures, attended the game and posted multiple photos on Instagram afterward. One picture showed her sitting next to Freddie Freeman’s wife, Chelsea. Another photo featured Bryant holding two children. The Dodgers won the game 5-3, prompting Bryant to caption her post with a celebratory message referencing the extreme heat. As Game 2 of the NLDS was set for Sunday, expectations were high for the Dodgers to maintain their lead before the series moved to Atlanta later in the week.
