Bruno Caboclo scored a career-high 24 points, Tyler Dorsey added 21 and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 115-103 on Monday night. 

Delon Wright finished with 18 points and a career-best 13 assists for the Grizzlies. Jonas Valanciunas added 18 points and 14 rebounds.

All five starters finished in double figures as the Grizzlies ended a two-game slide.

Paul George led the Thunder with 30 points and 12 rebounds, while Dennis Schroder added 25 points on 9-of-14 shooting. Russell Westbrook finished with 16 points and seven assists, but was just 6 of 20 from the field and missed five of his six 3-point attempts.

Oklahoma City lost for the fifth time in six games.

The Grizzlies, who have struggled at times in the third quarter, stretched their lead to 18 with a 19-7 rally to open the second half. With the lead at 73-55, Thunder coach Billy Donovan called timeout.

At that point, Westbrook was 2 of 13.

He would start taking over the Thunder offense, getting to the basket and making his next four shots. That cut into the Memphis lead before the Grizzlies held an 86-78 advantage heading into the fourth.

Memphis pushed it to 103-90 after Dorsey connected on a 3-pointer with 4:42 left. The Thunder never got closer than seven down the stretch.
