Slam dunk champion Josh Smith watched intently while Jason Richardson completed a 360-degree slam that brought the Golden State fans to their feet.

Richardson, a two-time dunk champion, scored 31 points in a 101-96 victory over the Hawks.

``I was little worried about the five-day break,'' Richardson said. ``I thought we would be a little rusty, but guys were ready to play and came out hard. We're basically starting four guards, so we try to get up and down the court.

``I still think (Smith) would beat me. I'm getting old,'' Richardson said. ``That boy gets up. I congratulated him before the game. We're trying to keep the dunk contest alive. It's one of the most exciting things at the All-Star weekend.''

The Warriors were without Mickael Pietrus who has the flu.
