The 2012 NBA playoffs have brought great excitement to the state. The Thunder’s series with San Antonio has also come with some pretty amazing stats. If the Thunder wins Game 6, they’ll be just the 15th NBA team to come back from a 2-0 hole to win the series. In Game 4, Serge Ibaka went 11-for-11, the same night that Kevin Durant scored 16 straight points to help the Thunder secure a victory. Here at the Oklahoma Insurance Department, we also have some pretty impressive stats. It’s one way of making sure we’re doing all we can to protect Oklahomans.
Take a look at the numbers:
While there have been some concerns lately over severe weather affecting the ability to get and keep home insurance, these numbers show a robust market with a wide variety of choices. The Oklahoma insurance industry is thriving, thanks to strong companies and hard-working insurance agents and brokers. Their success helps Oklahomans save money and rebound from tough times. The numbers don’t lie. A vibrant, competitive market is a slam dunk for consumers.
