Dos Pueblos had a chance to pull even with Buena late in the fourth quarter, but turnovers and fouls cost the Chargers down the stretch and they fell 57-49 in a Channel League boys basketball game Friday night.
Despite the loss, coach Joe Zamora said his team is playing better.
Eli Wopat led DP with 11 points and Jayson Williams chipped in 10. Sophomore Marcellus Gossett grabbed 12 rebounds to go with seven points.
Buena was able to hold off DP by making 9 of 10 free throws in the fourth quarter.
The Chargers play host to San Marcos on Tuesday.
