Quins relied on the kicking of Ben Botica in the first half and he kicked his first penalty in the 12th minute, before Flood added one of his own on 17.
Two more Botica penalties on 21 and 25 minutes brought the hosts to within a point of the Tigers.
However, the visitors ended the half six points up through a Flood penalty and an unconverted Adam Thompstone try, either side of Botica's fourth penalty of the game.
Danny Care went over for a try nine minutes into the second 40 and Botica's conversion put Quins ahead for the first time at 19-18.

Botica kicked another penalty on 60 minutes, with Flood responding on 69 but Leicester were still a point behind.
A nervy final few minutes finally ended with yet another Botica penalty as Quins ran out 25-22 victors.
