Shooters Holliwell and Coles also found their form as Quins maintained the nine-point gap, trailing 23-14 at half-time.
A change to the Quins line-up increased the pace of the gap as great drives from Grant and Bartlett got the ball quickly to the shooters, but Millfield increased their lead to 35-23.
The Quins team gelled well in the final quarter and the defence kept their cool to limit Millfield's scoring.
Mitchell and Coles shared Norton's player of the match award.
