After putting on a show in his first two NBA G League outings, Isaiah Thomas likely had extra motivation entering Thursday night's game with the Grand Rapids Gold.

That's because it came against the Maine Celtics.

Thomas, a two-time All-Star during his tenure in Boston, took on his former team's G League affiliate and continued to score at will. The 33-year-old point guard followed up his 42-point G League debut and Wednesday night's 45-point outburst with 33 points vs. Maine. He shot 11-for-21 from the field with seven assists.

Watch highlights from Thomas' performance below:

As teams look to fill out their benches for the stretch run, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Thomas find a new gig in the NBA. He already landed 10-day deals with the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers earlier this season. The question is whether we'll see the former Celtics star back in the league on a full-time basis.

If I.T. keeps this up, he'll make it tough for all 30 NBA teams to deny him that opportunity.

Grand Rapids ended up with the win over Maine, 129-118.
